Description<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0This antique wooden sword stand is suitable for exhibiting a Japanese sword, especially a Tachi sword, as seen in the example photos. Also, this sword stand is entirely painted with lacquer, and each motif is elegantly expressed with a traditional Japanese craft method, Makie (\u8494\u7d75) technique. The Makie is a typical Japanese lacquer art technique developed uniquely in Japan for about 1,200 years. Firstly, it needs to draw a picture with lacquer on the surface with a thin brush. Next, sprinkle the gold powder from above to show the pattern before the lacquer hardens. This technique makes a gorgeous and elegant look to works.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The design is based on the motif called “Sho-chiku-bai (\u677e\u7af9\u6885).” Shochikubai is a pattern that combines pine tree, bamboo, and Japanese apricot blossom. These plants are known in Japan for being lucky because they survive the long, cold winter and bloom beautifully in spring. Because of this, they have been considered a symbol of good fortune since long ago. It also means “Even if a long and hard time continues, if you are patient, a time of success will surely come.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Bamboos grow neatly towards the sky, and it is vital so that this motif represents nobility and strength. Besides, the bamboo breaks straight, but its content is hollow; people thought it shows innocence. According to a Chinese legend, Houhou (\u9cf3\u51f0, Fenghuang) eats bamboo fruits; therefore, bamboo has been considered a sacred plant. Also, as it keeps its green color even in cold winter, people thought the bamboo pattern shows eternity and longevity. We would say that the bamboo pattern is one of the familiar designs for Japanese people since ancient times.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0As pine trees keep their green color throughout the years by withstanding severe heat and cold, people thought this plant pattern represents eternal youth. Furthermore, its color is called Tokiwa-Iro (\u5e38\u76e4\u8272, evergreen trees\u2019 dark green color with brown), and pine trees have another name \u201cTokiwa-Gi (\u5e38\u76e4\u6728).\u201d Tokiwa means immutability, so Tokiwa-Iro is a color that praises green with a wish for longevity and prosperity. It is said this color was appreciated, especially in the Edo period, as a good-luck color. The pine tree design gives us an elegant and noble impression; it might be another reason that people love this motif.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Japanese apricot blossoms begin to bloom in winter that snow still covers its tree so that people thought this flower tells the arrival of spring. Same as cherry blossom, it has been appreciated for a long time in Japan. People enjoy its adorable petal shape and scent, gracefully branched tree, and compose many poems. As it comes out in the cold season, it symbolizes the power of perseverance and vitality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
