Damascene (Zougan / Zogan)
“Damascening” is the art of inlaying different metals into one another, typically gold or silver into a darker oxidised background. The name comes from the resemblance to Damask silk embroideries.
Mount Fuji
Fuji is a stratovolcanic mountain, it is 3775 metres tall and the 35th tallest mountain in the world. It is praised for it’s attractive symmetry which has made it the subject of many poems and works of art. It is an important symbol of Japan and has huge significance in the Shinto religion, there are many shrines at the base and on the ascent of Fuji, they honour Princess Konohanasakuya the Kami (Deity) whose symbol is cherry blossom.
