大高檀紙见本帖
Not on view
This wallpaper sample book, created during the peak of the early Meiji Period, includes gold embossed paper made to emulate seventeenth-century Dutch gilt leather wall hangings (see The Met’s gilt-leather wall hanging in Gallery 607). The Japanese motifs, which include landscapes and cherry blossoms against a patterned background, were most likely intended for a European market during the vogue of Japonisme.
