EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite woodblock print showcases a traditional Japanese metal comb adorned with the image of Ebisu, one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Japanese folklore. The comb, which is intricately designed with intricate floral motifs and delicate woodgrain patterns, is accompanied by a steelyard and case, adding an air of elegance and practicality to the accessory. The steelyard, also known as a stilyard, is a portable balance used for weighing small objects. The design features a tray at one end and a counterweight suspended at the opposite end, with cords extending from the top of the bar for hanging the balance. This compact and portable design allowed the comb and steelyard to be easily transported, making it a convenient addition to a traveler's belongings. The case, also made of metal, is intricately decorated with similar floral motifs as the comb, creating a harmonious and cohesive design. The woodblock print, produced in Japan around 1878, captures the beauty and craftsmanship of traditional Japanese artistry. The intricate details of the comb, steelyard, and case are brought to life through the use of bold lines and vibrant colors, making this a truly stunning and unique piece of art. The presence of Ebisu, the god of fishermen, fortune, and commerce, adds an auspicious element to the comb, ensuring good luck and prosperity for its owner. This beautiful and intricately designed comb and steelyard set is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistry of its people.
