Bugaku small decorative plate & stand

Elegant Heian-period atmosphere

This small-sized decorative plate depicts a large drum used in gagaku (ancient Japanese court music).
The motif is powerful and auspicious, with the sun as a symbol and a dragon on the flaming edge, and the glittering mother-of-pearl is also attractive.

Gagaku is said to have reached its current form in the middle of the Heian period.
The decorative plates convey the elegance and splendor of the Heian aristocrats.
