Thank you for viewing. This is an antique book-lacquered comb and hairpin with mother-of-pearl inlay. It features a shippo (seven treasures) and chrysanthemum design, with the iridescent beauty of the aogai (blue shell) shimmering. The shippo pattern is considered a lucky motif representing harmony and prosperity, while the chrysanthemum has been cherished since ancient times as a symbol of nobility and longevity. Within the calm luster of the lacquer, the mother-of-pearl shimmers in jade and pink hues, changing its expression depending on the angle. It has a unique antique feel and is a recommended item for your collection. ⸻ Shall we continue with a "soft and clear" style based on this?
