This elegant hand mirror exemplifies Japanese lacquer artistry with intricate gold work (maki-e) detailing. The reflective surface is encased in a lacquered frame depicting a serene mountain landscape with traditional architectural motifs—pagodas, temple roofs, and clustered pines—rendered in fine metallic powders. The border features repeating floral and circular designs, while the handle displays a stylized dragon entwined in scrolling clouds, evoking classical themes of protection and vitality. The composition harmonizes craftsmanship with cultural symbolism, reflecting Japan’s continued reverence for nature and heritage during the early modern period.
