Sumptuary laws in Japan were intended for restriction from trade with the West. Therefore, precious few goods were exported (from Nagasaki) during the Edo Era. Except for the small size of the perforation, the largest dark blue bead in this clearly Japanese necklace could pass as an ojime. All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
