Red Copper: From ⚔️Samurai Decoration to ✨Jewelry

Today I went to 🚇K11 Musea's 🤩 "Red Copper: From Samurai Decoration to Jewelry" special exhibition organized by Van Cleef & Arpels. 🕰️Red copper is a ✨unique copper alloy of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, that 🔥dark reddish brown luster is repeatedly refined by gilding✖️ rust technology! Edo period samurai💮 often used red copper to decorate their katana swords. The low-key luxury 🌿 carving and gilding craftsmanship hide the soul of Bushido and natural belief 🌙. After the Meiji Restoration, there were fewer and fewer samurai swords⚔️, so the craftsmen began to transform. They⚒️ mixed painting and elephant inlays, sublimating the red copper craftsmanship into art🎨, and even spreading it to Europe🇪🇺! From weapons to cultural symbols 📿, the evolutionary history of red copper witnessed how Japanese craftsmen 🔨 turned killing weapons into eternal aesthetic philosophy 🌸, it is really meaningful. #AkabeTale #Samurai Aesthetic Evolution #Japanese style metalworking art #secrets of knife equipment #Edo craftsman soul #Meiji Craft Revolution #Wabisa aesthetic code #oxidation is art #copper alloy alchemy #Hong Kong talk about Japanese culture #jewelry design cold knowledge #weapon transformation jewelry #carving hidden samurai soul #metalworking seven treasures technique #Contemporary Interpretation of Bushido #Hong Kong Talking Sword Culture #Jewelry Cold Knowledge #Art Transfer Technique #Cultural Symbol Interpretation #Hong Kong Japanese Fans Must Pay Attention #vancleefarpels
