About
Several lacquer articles and objects in other media produced by Hara Yōyūsai feature designs by his contemporary, Sakai Hōitsu. Yōyūsai used albums of Hōitsu’s designs to trace and transfer them to lacquer objects. Here, Yōyūsai paints a design of vines by Hōitsu in lacquer and gold on a gourd.
