    Description

    West of Tokyo, in the shadow of Mt. Fuji, the small mountain town of Hakone, Japan, is known for its legendary hot springs, but it also gives its name to a special type of woodcraft known as Hakone Yosegi-zaiku. Yosegi-zaiku is a kind of parquetry featuring elaborate inlaid, geometric mosaic designs. Hakone Yosegi-zaiku makes use of the diversity and great beauty of the trees found in the region and celebrates their beautiful colors and composition in the resulting mosaics and marquetry work created with these local, natural materials. No stains or colorings are used.
    Dimensions of frame: 13 x 8 inches;  picture: 8.5 x 3.75 inches.
