Appreciated for its elegant silhouettes and decorative homages to tradition, Japanese décor has a matchless aesthetic that is prized worldwide. Ukiyo-e, traditional woodblock printing, is perhaps one of the most recognizable Japanese art forms, and was one of the most popular modes during the Edo period, which spanned the 17th through 19th centuries; a canonical example is The GreenWave off Kanagawa by Hokusai, an artist working primarily in the Edo period but whose work remains both prevalent and popular today. Similarly, the time-honored technique of lacquering, used decoratively on small objects such as inro or jubako, has remained unchanged for centuries, but its timeless aesthetic makes it a particularly sought-after finish on a range of décor objects.
