Inspired by Noh

Hello again everyone. The long hot Japanese summer is over and we are now entering the cool autumn season. A lot of people think this is one of the nicest seasons in Japan. Certainly it's a time for pleasant weather and good food.

Today I want to introduce you to one of our newest products here at ExseedJapan. We have recently begun to stock beautifully crafted Zen silverware by Daisuke Yamashita, an artist from Ishikawa Prefecture who works with silver.

This is the Nohmen tiepin. It features the image of the Zouonna from the Noh theater of Japan. I think most people with an interest in Japan have at least heard of Noh theater, but not everyone is familiar with the character types that appear in it. The zouonna is the image of a powerful goddess. It is a symbol of strength and might. These are the characteristics that our artist Daisuke Yamashita has sought to transfer to this tiepin. The wearer of the Nohmen tiepin can maybe assume these qualities onto themself. We at ExseedJapan recommend this piece of modern Japanese design for the individual of confidence and taste. If you have time, come and take a look at our site - at http://www.exseedjapan.com/ - where you'll find this and other examples of modern Japanese crafts.
