Usu Nashiji
Description:
"usu-nashiji".
Nashiji, also called Aventurine, in Japanese lacquerwork, form of maki-e that is frequently employed for the background. Gold or silver flakes or powder called nashiji-ko are sprinkled onto the wet lacquer. Transparent lacquer is then applied and burnished with charcoal, so that the gold or silver can be seen through the lacquer. "Nashi" is the word for the Japanese pear, nashi, "ji" means skin
The technique flourished in the Muromachi period (1338–1573). During the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1574–1600), variations of the technique were developed, such as e-nashiji, in which nashiji is applied to parts of the design. Later, in the Tokugawa period (1603–1867), more variations were devised
For this form of nashiji coarse gold filings are sprinkled onto the wet lacquer.
