Painted pear pattern - Enashiji

Japanese: 絵梨地 - えなしじ
Painted pear pattern - Enashiji
The name of a maki-e technique. Nashiji was originally made as a base for maki-e. Gold powder is sprinkled over a black or vermilion lacquer, and after drying, transparent lacquer is applied. The gold powder is visible through the lacquer, resembling the skin of a pear, hence the name. It began in the Kamakura period. E-nashiji is an application of this technique in maki-e patterns, and was developed in the Azuchi-Momoyama period. It is often seen in Kodaiji maki-e, where E-nashiji is arranged within Hira-maki-e to enhance the color effect.

蒔絵の技法の名称。梨地は本来は蒔絵の下地として作られる。黒や朱の漆を塗った上に金粉をあらく蒔き,乾燥後さらに透明な漆を塗る。金粉が漆を透かして見え,梨の肌に似ているところからこの名がある。鎌倉時代から始る。絵梨地はこれを蒔絵の文様中に応用したもので,安土桃山時代に興った。高台寺蒔絵に多くみられ,平蒔絵のなかに絵梨地が配され色彩効果をあげている。
