EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Enamel and soft-metal-inlaid iron incense burner, created by the renowned Japanese artist Koichi Shin (Takasaki Koichi) during the Meiji Period. Standing at a height of 21 cm, this masterpiece is a true testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the Japanese School in the 19th century. The ovoid iron body has been meticulously hammered and adorned with two silver handles shaped like lotus buds and leaves. The surface is beautifully embellished with intricate gold, silver, and polychrome enamel inlays depicting swimming carps in a serene lotus pond. The lid features a delicate lotus finial crafted from silver and enamel. What makes this piece even more remarkable is the presence of an inlaid enamel seal on its underside, adding authenticity to its origin. This stunning incense burner comes complete with its original wooden stand and Japanese wood box for safekeeping. Every detail of this artwork reflects nature's beauty - from the graceful movement of carps to the elegant blossoms of lotus flowers. It truly captures the essence of wildlife within its design. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic excellence but also provides a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage during one of its most significant periods – Meiji Period (1868-1912).
