Chokin Art Collection from Japan


THE ART OF CHOKIN

Chokin is the ancient Japanese art of engraving copper and gilding it with precious 24K Gold and Silver since the 12th century.

The engravings were orginally created to decorate the armament of SAMURAI warriors.

At least I was able to buy a few souvenirs from Narita Airport on my one night only in Japan on the way back from my short trip to USA last year.
