+ THE STORY

Chokin is the Japanese art of metal engraving — a technique that dates back over a thousand years, used to decorate swords and armor before it found its way onto decorative objects that could be displayed rather than worn into battle. The process involves etching fine lines into metal and filling them with gold and silver, producing the rich contrast and intricate detail that makes Chokin work immediately recognizable. This Dynasty collector plate applies that tradition to the peacock — a subject that rewards the technique, the featherwork rendered in the kind of detail that only metal inlay can achieve.

+ WHY WE CHOSE IT

Because a Dynasty Chokin peacock plate with gold and silver inlay carries a craft tradition over a thousand years old. Because the peacock is exactly the right subject for Chokin — elaborate plumage that rewards fine metal engraving. Because gold and silver against dark metal is a combination that has been right for a very long time.
