Gold Leaf Art Accessory Box – Skull

Combining the lustrous elegance of Kanazawa gold leaf, with over 450 years of history, and the bold composition and vibrant colors of Ukiyo-e prints, this series possesses a mysterious charm as if you’ve wandered into another world. These are dynamic art pieces that change their expression depending on the angle of the light.

This particular piece is inspired by “Soma no Furudairi” by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a popular Ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, known for his innovative and striking works featuring a gigantic skeleton.
Though the hazy golden skeleton may seem scary, it is finished with a certain lovable charm.

Each item is carefully handcrafted, making it a highly appreciated gift for art lovers or a unique souvenir for overseas visitors.

Beyond its practical use for storing accessories and small items, it is also an item that can be enjoyed as decoration.

“Soma no Furudairi”

The story of Soma no Furudairi and Takiyasha-hime: The mansion built in Shimousa Province by Taira no Masakado, also known as Soma Kojirō, was abandoned after Masakado’s rebellion. His orphaned children, Takiyasha-hime and Yoshikado, gained magical powers and gathered allies in this mansion to carry on their father’s will. Soon, monsters began to appear, prompting Ōya Tarō Mitsukuni, a retainer of Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, to lead an expedition to defeat them and thwart the conspiracy.
