The images are created by etching pure copper and then gilding it with silver and gold. The engravings were originally created to decorate the armament of the Samurai warriors. This art form was handed down for over eight hundred years.
The Art of Chokin plate, edged with the finest 24-karat gold, is not merely a decorative item; it is a slice of history, an artifact that resonates with the soul of feudal Japan. This piece speaks volumes to collectors and connoisseurs who cherish not only the aesthetic appeal but also the profound narrative behind each creation.
The intricate Chokin art, reserved in its original form for the noble Samurai, is now immortalised on this plate. The engravings, once used to adorn the handles and sheaths of Samurai swords, now capture a scene of dynamic combat, bringing the valour and honour of these legendary warriors to life. It is a visual narrative steeped in tradition, a tableau of a rich cultural legacy that has been preserved through meticulous craftsmanship.
For the discerning collector, this plate offers an opportunity to own a piece of an art form preserved through 800 years of Japanese history. The weight of 179 grams feels substantial in the hand, a tangible connection to the artisans whose skills have been honed and passed down through generations. Each etching, each application of gold and silver, is a testament to a craft that has withstood the test of time.
Connoisseurs will appreciate the rarity and cultural significance of this collectible. It is a statement piece, a conversation starter, and a bridge to the past. This Chokin plate is not just an acquisition; it is an inheritance, a piece of art that carries the spirit of the ancient world into the modern-day collector’s cabinet. It promises to be a focal point, an object that not only complements a collection but also elevates it, imbuing it with a sense of history, artistry, and the unmatched skill of the Chokin masters.
