A tie pin featuring the textured cloth inlay (nunome zogan) technique, dating back to the 1960s. The delicate cloth texture etched into the deeply blackened base metal softly diffuses light, creating the unique matte quality characteristic of this technique. The design depicts layers of distant mountains and ginkgo (icho) leaves. The mountain range, expressed through the contrast of gold and silver, evokes the primal scenery of Japanese aesthetics. Condition: Some minor flaking is visible in parts of the silver inlay due to aging, but it does not affect the design and is in a condition suitable for practical use. Size: Length 4.8cm (a narrow width typical of this era) This piece adds Japanese craftsmanship and a Showa-era retro atmosphere to modern suit styles. *******Reproduction of photos and text is strictly prohibited.
