卖家的描述
Antique Japanese Bronze Hand Mirrors (E-Kagami) - Swallowtail Butterfly & Genji-ko Crests
【Description】
Welcome to LastPiece-TimeTravel-Japan.
We circulate precious memories, passing them on to become someone else's ultimate treasure—your "Last Piece."
[Product Overview]
Up for auction is a magnificent set of two large antique Japanese bronze hand mirrors, known as "E-Kagami."
In traditional Japan, these mirrors were not just daily tools but important symbolic items, often included in the trousseau (bridal luggage) of noblewomen and samurai families.
What makes this set truly exceptional is the deep cultural and literary significance of the cast motifs on the back:
1. The Swallowtail Butterfly (Ageha-cho): A highly prestigious Kamon (family crest), famously associated with the powerful Taira clan (Heike) in Japanese history. It represents elegance and metamorphosis.
2. Genji-ko (Incense Crest): This striking geometric pattern originates from the traditional Japanese incense ceremony (Kodo) and specifically represents a chapter from "The Tale of Genji," the world's first novel written in the 11th century.
[Item Details]
- Material: Cast Bronze (with rattan/bamboo wrapped handles).
- Dimensions (approx.):
Butterfly Mirror: Total Length 31.5 cm / Mirror Face Diameter 21.3 cm
Genji-ko Mirror: Total Length 30.0 cm / Mirror Face Diameter 20.9 cm
- Era: 19th - early 20th Century (Edo to Meiji style transition period).
[Condition]
Vintage Condition.
