Dances that convey feelings of gratitude and ancestral remembrance began as part of popular culture and continue to this day in forms such as Bon Odori. This piece depicts festival music on the kashira and dancers on the fuchi. The dance is depicted dynamically and meticulously using the takabori and zogan-iroe techniques on an exquisite Shakudo Nanako ground. The style suggests that this fuchi-kashira was made by a Kyo-kinko metalworker. |
