筝

Metalwork by Goto Teijo, 9th generation Goto master, Japan Japanese
 Workshop of Gotō Yūjō Japanese

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 684

这把罕见的筝（一种齐特琴）是日本装饰和音乐艺术的巅峰之作。现代日本筝乐的基础形成于十七世纪，但在那以前也存在丰富的传统。这把筝上大量的镶嵌和出色的装饰出自程乘之手，他是闻名遐迩的金属工匠后藤家族第九代大师，或许也是技艺最精湛的一位；这件作品就忠实记录了这种重要的音乐发展。这把筝也反映出主人的地位（有权有势的乌丸家族）以及筝作为一种日本象征的角色。装饰精美的漆琴盒制作于十九世纪早期，上面有描金的鹤  （乌丸家族的纹章）与鹅。
