Tanizaki's novel tells a story set in Nanjing, China, as portrayed by a Japanese author, while this piece represents a traditional Japanese craft, the maki-e box, created by a Chinese artist. This work explores the possibility of a cross-generational dialogue in reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMessage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior decoration of this dry lacquer maki-e box, \"Lament of the Mermaid,\" illustrates the progression of time as peonies gradually bloom, reach full bloom, and eventually fall. The interior is adorned with a flowing water motif in gold powder maki-e. In this world, there are no flowers that do not fall, nor people who do not pass away. Perhaps having many beautiful memories before parting is the best outcome?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"LI Yiyan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45546327933140,"sku":"LI_04","price":4972.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/4507\/5924\/files\/P1022642.jpg?v=1724134687","url":"https:\/\/gp-j.com\/en\/products\/kanshitu-makie-box-lament-of-the-mermaid","provider":"Green Pheasants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
