About the Item

A Namiki little round cabinet tray from the Meiji period. This is an amazing and very decorative presentation round cabinet tray created in the Imperial Japan period during the early Meiji period (1868-1912), circa 1880. The fabulous little tray has been meticulously crafted in precious wood and decorated with Namiki techniques, enhanced with applications of gold and silver. The design depicts a couple of very cute pigeons in the forest. This is a great treasure tray, with exceptional great eye appeal. Pigeons in the Meiji period In Japanese culture, pigeons are often revered as sacred messenger birds for the deity Hachiman, found on motifs like shrine decorations and in art. While today often viewed as common, they were historically symbolized as symbols of harmony and permanence in art, and in some areas, like the Miyake Hachiman Jinja Shrine, they are specifically honored with statue and festival imagery, often replacing the typical dog statues. The Meiji Imperial Period This is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912.The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic ideas. As a result of such wholesale adoption of radically different ideas, the changes to Japan were profound, and affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded to the reign of Emperor Meiji. It was preceded by the Keiō era and was succeeded by the Taishō era, upon the accession of Emperor Taishō.
