v&a japanese gilt box

Japanese Writing Box in the Victoria & Albert Museum

This is a wonderful Japanese writing box that I photographed at the V&A Museum in London.

A beautifully made lacquer box with applied real gold detailing.  It takes skill to apply the metal so well – something to aspire to in my own work I think.
