A Three-Case Inro Edo period (19th century), Japan Decorated in gold, silver and red hiramaki-e, takamaki-e, kirikane and nashiji and inlaid in mother-of-pearl on a black lacquer ground, with a family of wild boar amongst chrysanthemums and a stream, dense nashijiinteriors, fundame rims Christies
Set against a mirror-polished, jet-black lacquer ground (urushi), a family of wild boars reposes beneath a lush canopy of blooming chrysanthemums (kiku) beside a golden, winding stream. Rendered in dramatic raised relief (takamaki-e), the mother boar curls comfortably upon a bed of gold moss, her textured fur etched with painstaking detail, while her two spirited piglets play nearby in smooth low relief (hiramaki-e). Luminous inlays of iridescent mother-of-pearl (raden) catch the ambient light along the chrysanthemum petals and eyes, gleaming with subtle opalescent blues and greens against the dark backdrop. Intricate mosaic squares of cut gold leaf (kirikane) adorn the stylized riverbanks, blending into soft clouds of sprinkled gold dust (nashiji). The tactile interplay between the glass-smooth black ground, the raised metallic relief of the boar bristles, and the cool shimmer of shell creates an exquisite, miniature sensory cosmos.
Created during the late Edo period (19th century), this three-case inrō represents the pinnacle of Japanese lacquer monozukuri (artisanal craft and technical mastery). Because traditional kimono lacked pockets, men carried personal items—such as seal paste, medicines, or incense—in suspended containers (sagemono) slung from the obi sash via a cord secured by a netsuke counterweight and an ojime bead. The wild boar (inoshishi), one of the twelve animals of the East Asian zodiac, traditionally symbolizes fierce courage, unstoppable determination, and protective maternal devotion, while chrysanthemums embody autumn, nobility, and long life. To craft such an object required months of painstaking labor by a master lacquerer (maki-e-shi), applying dozens of microscopic layers of sap, hand-placing minute gold foil squares, and fitting dense nashiji flake interiors behind tightly sealed, gold-finished fundame rims.

Pure idyll in the Salzburg Region 🌲💚 This picture captures the magical tranquility of the Salzach River in Pongau. The trees reflect beautifully in the calm water, ushering in the cozy season along the Tauern Cycle Path! #BlueSkyArtShow #lights #GreenSat #Photography #Roadtrip #ECK #Vanlife #Fall
A view of the wooded banks of the Salzach in Pongau. In the upper part of the picture, a dense row of trees with leaves in late-summer to autumnal colours stretches across the frame. The calm, deep-green water in the foreground fills the lower half of the picture and reflects the trees in rich detail, almost symmetrically. In the background, a series of hills can be glimpsed.

quattro stagioni: autunno cy twombly
“Deep reds and greens punctuated by vivid yellow evoke the turning point of the year which is also hinted at in the foliage, stems and  berries that appear down the left-hand side of the canvas. The passages of text are harder to distinguish, although the words 'your blood' can be read at two points on the canvas.The artist's red handprint appears near the centre, as if marking his physical presence in the work. Twombly's vigorous approach turns the canvas into an arena for action: paint is pooled and dripped, encrusted, brushed in thin washes, and pushed about by bare hands.”  from Tate

🚐 Heading out on a big journey: a 2-month #roadtrip! I’m shifting down a gear. To fully enjoy the trip, I’ll be on a social media diet—meaning no heavy scrolling and no reposts. Instead, I'm going to keep a sort of travel diary and take you along with me virtually! Hope you'll join the ride! 🤗🫶
