Jewellery Box ‘Striped Twilight’
On this jewellery box, the lacquer artist Kagari captures the urban landscape of Roppongi, a district of Tokyo. Using strips of mother-of-pearl, she portrays the light of this metropolis from its highest vantage point. She applied colour to the backs of these strips, thereby accentuating the rhythm of the architectural elements and creating a subtle depth effect in the depiction.
