EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning piece of artistry from the early 20th century - a cigarette case adorned with an intricately detailed dragon. Crafted in a Komai factory around 1900, this exquisite item is made of silver gilt and niello, showcasing the mastery of Japanese craftsmanship. The decorative elements on this cigarette case are nothing short of extraordinary. The dragon, a mythical creature deeply rooted in Asian folklore, takes center stage with its fierce presence. Its monstrous form is brought to life through ornate details that emphasize its power and majesty. From its sharp claws to its fantastical scales, every aspect of this fictional character has been meticulously crafted. The level of skill required to create such an ornamental masterpiece is truly remarkable. The artist's attention to detail and dedication shine through in every brushstroke or etched line. This fabulous animal seems almost alive as it wraps itself around the cigarette case, adding an air of mystery and wonder. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by photographer Paul Freeman, we can't help but appreciate the rich cultural heritage behind it. It serves as a testament to Japan's artistic traditions and their ability to transform everyday objects into works of art. This private collection treasure reminds us that beauty can be found even in unexpected places – like a simple cigarette case transformed into an object worthy of admiration for generations to come.
