Gold Leaf Art Glass Tray – myau【Free Shipping】
Tradition with a Touch of Brilliance
This glass tray combines over 450 years of Kanazawa gold leaf craftsmanship with the bold compositions and vibrant colors of ukiyo-e. Its mysterious charm feels almost like stepping into another world, and the tray’s expression changes with the angle of light, making it a truly “living art piece.”
Featured here is Cats Suggested as the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (Myōkaikō gojūsanbiki), a beloved work by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, one of the most popular ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period. With cats as the main characters, this playful piece is cherished by cat lovers worldwide. Each cat is paired with a Japanese place name through clever wordplay—some tumbling about, eating, or dozing. For instance, in Fuchū (府中), the pun is shown by a cat completely muchū (“entranced”) with a fish. Such humor and imagination make the work endlessly delightful.
Beyond its artistic charm, the tray is versatile in daily life. Use it as an accessory or key tray, as a stylish display for your favorite items, or even as a small plate for snacks during evening drinks. Adding a touch of Japanese modern art to your home makes any space feel just a little more special—an effortless way to enjoy the presence of a masterpiece.

- This glass tray features a delightful ukiyo-e work by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, one of the most popular artists of the Edo period. Beloved by cat enthusiasts, his piece Cats Suggested as the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (Myōkaikō gojūsanbiki) is a playful ukiyo-e where cats take center stage, making it a perfect gift for cat lovers around the world. Each cat is humorously paired with a Japanese place name through wordplay—some are shown playfully tumbling, eating, or napping. For example, in Fuchū (府中), the pun is illustrated by a cat utterly absorbed (muchū, meaning “entranced”) with a fish. This charming wit and creativity make the work as entertaining today as it was in the Edo period. Accented with Kanazawa gold leaf, the tray is not only a practical accessory for keys or jewelry but also a stylish piece of décor to showcase your favorite small items.

The accessory box and glass tray each showcase their own unique brilliance through delicate applications of gold leaf.
