The radiating petals are likened to the sun, and it also has the meaning of "warding off evil." Furthermore, as it is used as the Imperial crest, it symbolizes "nobility," "refinement," and "mental and physical stability." ◇◇ Chinkin ◇◇ This is a highly skilled lacquerware decoration technique in which a design is carved onto the surface of the lacquerware, lacquer is applied to the carved grooves, and then gold powder or gold leaf is filled in and embedded. ◆ Please be aware of processing marks and age-related stains.
