CombThis lacquered comb shows Japanese design at its very best. The crane wraps itself over the comb. The crane is a popular motif in Japanese art symbolising longevity. This wooden comb has been covered by many layers of transparent lacquer. Lacquer is a protective coating from the rhu verniciflua tree. A paste of finely ground particles has been moulded into a bird on the comb. This technique is known as takamakie. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
