Vintage Japanese | Painting of a Goten-musume (Palace Maiden) Beauty

This vintage Japanese figure painting depicts a woman in the traditional goten-musume (palace maiden) style. She wears a sumptuous kimono, her hair piled high and adorned with flower hairpins, tassels and red hair ornaments; the overall look is ornate yet refined. She holds a square object, and her costume combines red, teal, off-white and black with fine geometric and floral patterns, expressing a strong traditional Japanese sense of dress. The deep teal background makes her pale face and red clothing stand out, and the border is finished with off-white and greenish-grey vertical stripes. The composition has the nostalgic feel common to Shōwa-period decorative paintings, shibai-e (theatre pictures) and Japanese-style bijin-ga.

Vintage Japanese Painting of a Maiko Beauty

This vintage Japanese decorative figure painting depicts a maiko beauty in a sumptuous kimono. She stands turned slightly to one side; her pale face, long narrow eyes and brows, vermilion lips and elaborate coiffure together convey the classic quality of traditional Japanese bijin-ga (paintings of beautiful women). The maiko wears a vivid yellow kimono patterned with flowers and grasses in purple, green, red and other colors, while her obi pairs strong vermilion, orange-yellow and dark geometric patterns. The figure is richly colored, yet because the background is a subdued golden brown, the work does not look gaudy; instead it has the elegance and nostalgia characteristic of Shōwa-period Japanese bijin-ga.

Japanese Retro Style | Oil-Lamp-Shaped Table Lamp in Antique Bronze Finish

This Japanese retro-style table lamp reinterprets the forms of early oil and kerosene lamps, combining the silhouette of traditional lighting with modern electric light for a strongly nostalgic, classical and industrial-vintage feel. The lamp has an antique-bronze metal finish throughout: the four-footed base, slender column, glass chimney holder, the wide conical shade above and the top ornament all share the same bronze tone. The metal is not a modern high-gloss mirror finish but a subdued brass / antique bronze color, closer to the look of an old oil lamp mellowed by time. The middle section keeps the clear glass chimney typical of traditional oil lamps, set in a metal holder with openwork decoration, so the piece imitates not only the outward look but even the most characteristic structure of an oil lamp. The wide metal shade above is well proportioned, echoing the design of old lamps and letting the form open naturally upward from the slender column into a very handsome silhouette.

1952 Kobe Vintage STERLING SILVER Engraved Jewelry Cabinet

A small jewelry cabinet made in Kobe in 1952, crafted in STERLING SILVER. The double-door body is finely engraved with flowers and foliage, and the doors, hinges and clasps show layers of classical metalwork. Over the years the silver has naturally oxidized into varied tones and signs of use, making the delicate engraving stand out more vividly in light and shadow.
