Vintage Art of Chokin Plate – Cranes and Butterflies – Gold & Silver Etched Metal – F.C. Westland Japan

Add a shimmering touch of elegance to your home with this stunning Art of Chokin decorative plate, exclusively crafted by F.C. Westland Co. of Japan. Featuring graceful cranes beneath cherry blossoms and surrounded by delicately embossed butterflies, this collectible piece captures timeless beauty and symbolism.

The Chokin technique—used here to stunning effect—is a traditional Japanese art form that dates back over 700 years. Originally reserved for decorating samurai armor and ceremonial objects, this method involves hand-engraving designs into metal and embellishing them with gold and silver. In the late 20th century, artisans revived the practice in decorative art, creating beautiful plates like this one that shimmer with history.

Perfect for wall display, shelf styling, or as a meaningful gift.
