Mount Fuji rises over drifting sails, pagodas, and a golden pavilion, while iris, bamboo, peony, and chrysanthemum bloom across nine hand-inlaid panels. Made by Amita of Kyoto in the 1950s–1960s, this bracelet carries the Japanese damascene tradition of inlaying fine gold and silver into blackened steel, a craft rooted in centuries of sword ornamentation. Each panel is its own quiet scene, framed in warm gold tone and joined by smooth hinges that follow the wrist. A wide, sculptural piece with a secure box clasp and safety chain.
