{"product_id":"silver-grass-under-the-moon","title":"Silver Grass Under the Moon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA full moon glows above silver grass, capturing the stillness of autumn and the quiet movement of the breeze. This piece, crafted by \u003cem\u003emaki-e\u003c\/em\u003e artist Hariya Masayuki, brings that scene to life with luminous detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic was chosen for the way it reveals the design through the translucent surface. The silver grass (\u003cem\u003esusuki \u003c\/em\u003ein Japanese) appears to ripple beneath the moon, which seems to float above it, creating a landscape inspired by traditional Japanese painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design employs the decorative lacquerware techniques of both \u003cem\u003ehira \u003c\/em\u003emaki-e and \u003cem\u003eharikiri\u003c\/em\u003e. The hira maki-e technique involves painting patterns in lacquer, sprinkling gold or silver powder before it hardens, then coating with clear lacquer and polishing to create a smooth, luminous surface. This method gives the decoration its shimmering presence. The harikiri technique, in which lines are incised with a fine needle-like tool, is used for the silver grass, capturing its rhythm and delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the exterior, the moon appears silver, while from within, it glows golden. The delicate sparkle of the grass tips evokes dewdrops, rendered with silver powder to evoke the soft glow of moonlight. Hariya notes that he chose the materials with the shifting light of the moon in mind, aiming to suggest the brilliance of a midnight sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy layering traditional methods onto a modern medium, Hariya pursues new expressions of maki-e. This work brings a breath of freshness to the art of lacquerware\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: addfd70f-b793-43a7-94f2-eca9a121047f --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hariya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45239397417149,"sku":"HRY001","price":4585.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/202508157010_375a70c5-6b21-4da5-8e24-c13aecf63db6.jpg?v=1756710788","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/silver-grass-under-the-moon","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
