| Japanese Kanzashi hairpin, lacquer on hand carved wood. Dadaiko (large drum used in court music) and maku (outside cloth fense) under the maple trees are pictorial subjects based on The Tale of Genji, Chapter 7, entitled ‘Momiji no Ga’, translated as ‘An Autumn Excursion’. There is a famous scene frequently illustrated from this chapter where Genji dances ‘Waves of the Blue Ocean’ (Sei Kai Ha) with a maple branch on his crown. Here, without the presense of Genji, you are inside of the Imperial Courtyard. 6 3/4", signed in excellent Quality. | |||||||||||||
