{"product_id":"namiki-emperor-rankaku-owl","title":"Namiki Emperor Rankaku Owl","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnown as “fukuro” in Japanese, the owl has been tied to mythical beliefs since the Jomon period (4,000–300 BCE). Initially a decorative motif, it evolved into a protector against malevolent forces and illnesses, before becoming an omen of bad tidings itself. Several centuries later, during the Edo period (1603–1868 BCE), it regained its protector status as a ward against illness and a promoter of healing. Today, gifting someone with an item depicting an owl means wishing for a good life with no hardships. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis nocturnal bird is featured on the Namiki Emperor Owl, crafted by master artisan Yutaka Sato using the Rankaku and Togidashi-Taka Maki-e techniques. Rankaku is the embedding of small pieces of quail eggshells into a lacquered surface, while Togidashi-Taka Maki-e (Burnished-Flat Maki-e) is a laborious blend of techniques that offers an ethereal, three-dimensional effect. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have for sale a brand-new Namiki Emperor Owl, complete with its box, papers, and other inclusions. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Namiki","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":50769128653056,"sku":null,"price":625000.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4547\/0720\/files\/Oct18satArtboard1.jpg?v=1792898418","url":"https:\/\/manilapenography.com\/products\/namiki-emperor-rankaku-owl","provider":"The Manila Penography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
