Mirror

Another collectible from Japan. A mirror which at the back is a picture of Japanese Castle and Mount Fuji Vocalno, the symbols of Japan.

I got this mirror from Pi Pairoj, my husband's colleague who visited Japan several years ago. Never been used as a mirror but kept in show cabinet as a treasure collectible.

Kokeshi dolls

Kokeshi dolls (Japanese wooden dolls)

Kokeshi doll is made of solid wood. It is one of the most famous Japanese dolls. The production technique is of the potter's wheel and has been handed down from teacher to pupil.

Kokeshi is the most famous Japanese wooden doll around the world and is sold as souvenir all over Japan.

My younger daughter, Fur bought this collectible set of three Kokeshi dolls on her visit to Japan in 2008. Cute, aren't they?

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.
