◆ A tie pin featuring a ginkgo leaf design with striking gold and silver inlay. The gold and silver inlay stands out against the black background, creating a simple yet elegant design with a Japanese aesthetic. ◆ Design The ginkgo leaf is known as a tree that symbolizes strong vitality and longevity, and has been used as a lucky motif to wish for health, longevity, prosperity, and hope. The fan-like shape of the leaves is reminiscent of "increasing prosperity," and in the past, it was also used to pray for the prosperity of descendants. However, in modern times, it is a design that is also suitable to wear with the meaning of praying for business development and career success. The point is that not only the leaves but also the round fruits are drawn, creating a design that evokes the autumn harvest and the composure of a mature adult. The gold leaves and stems on the black base metal, plus the glint of silver, create an appealing effect that changes depending on the angle. It's not just gold, but a subtly luxurious piece that uses the contrast of gold and silver to create depth. ◆ Technique and Silhouette The design is made with authentic gold inlay with a "nunome-zogan" (cloth-grain inlay) technique, and fine work can also be seen in the silver parts. The pitch of the cloth grain is fine, and it beautifully captures the nuances of the ginkgo leaf veins and outlines, resulting in a finish that conveys the meticulous craftsmanship of the artisan, despite the small area. ◆ Size The total length is about 5.2cm, but the clip part is compact at about 3.3cm, creating a silhouette where the bar looks slender and long. It has a balance that subtly asserts itself on the tie, without being overly noticeable, yet still leaving a proper presence, a piece that evokes the "good old Showa aesthetic." ◆ Scenes The ginkgo leaf design in gold and silver on a black background has a calm atmosphere that is easy to match with both business suits and formal styles. It is perfect for autumn and winter outfits, as well as for occasions that are conscious of "milestones," such as longevity celebrations and anniversaries. Recommended for those who like Japanese designs and traditional craft accessories, and those who want to incorporate a mature seasonal feel. 【Condition】 There are minor scratches from use, but they are not very noticeable when worn. #TiePin #TiePin #MensAccessories #Vintage #ShowaRetro #GoldInlay #GinkgoLeafDesign #JapanesePattern #AuspiciousPattern #Suit #Formal #BusinessStyle ※ Unauthorized reproduction prohibited
