Types of Chinese and Japanese Jewelry Boxes For Women
The Japanese and the Chinese are celebrated for their artistic abilities. There are a number of similarities in their cultures and traditions. They are the best artisans in the world even today. Their antique jewelry boxes for women with embossed craft work are well-known.
China and Japan have made a number of significant contributions to international arts and crafts. There are several curios made in these countries that are available internationally and their beauty is stunning. Art work that was made before 1949 is considered antique and the Chinese has a great influence on it.
All such antique boxes are placed in museums in these two countries. The dragon is a main symbol used by the Chinese. Paintings of dragons are done on porcelain boxes. The colors black and red are also predominantly used in their paintings. The dragon is carved out painstakingly on wooden boxes.
Chinese symbols are also found on metal boxes. An ancient Chinese God has been designed in the form of a metal jewelry box. The box opens and closes in the middle and is easily handled with a magnet. Many believe it to be sacred since it has a number of religious connotations.
Beautifully designed Ox bone boxes are popular too. Their carvings are based on ancient traditions. The designs are done so well that it is hard to distinguish whether they are carved or hand painted.
Another famous form of the Chinese jewelry box is the one which comes with beads styled like an abacus on top. This box is made of wood and comes with polished metal handles on either side. The art form of Cloisonne is also used by the Chinese to create beautiful enamel ware.
A variety of colors are used and they can be told apart by the use of metal strips. The metal strips are affixed atop a metal base. Cloisonnes are commonly known as hollows and a number of metals can be used to fill and decorate them uniquely.
Famous in Japan are the wooden chests which come with eight drawers and look fabulous when placed in the bedroom, living room, or dining room. Boxes made of lacquered wood are also quite famous and can be found in art galleries. The Japanese were behind the invention of the musical box and they are famous even today.
The exquisite paintings and calligraphy done on the Naga shell jewelry box are beautiful. The seven Gods of Japan are depicted in a comical manner. They are either painted or carved onto the boxes.
China and Japan make boxes of soft, printed material. These materials are of very good quality and the designs are stunning! China and Japan share similar cultures, religions, and craftsmanship. They have succeeded in making people desire the things their skilled artisans can make.
If you are ever in the Orient, do make sure to get yourself a beautifully designed box for keepsake.
