PM Narendra Modi Gifts Exquisite Silver Nakkashi Peacock Figurine to Japan's PM Shigeru Ishiba
In a gesture symbolizing the deepening cultural and diplomatic ties between India and Japan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba with a stunning silver Nakkashi work peacock figurine. The gift, featuring intricate engravings, is a fine example of the centuries-old Nakkashi craftsmanship, a traditional art form that originated in West Bengal, India.
Nakkashi work is known for its elaborate detailing, often created by skilled artisans using delicate hand tools. The peacock, a symbol of beauty and grace in both Indian and Japanese cultures, was chosen to reflect the harmony and shared values between the two nations.
The gift exchange took place during bilateral talks, where both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening economic, cultural, and defense cooperation. This symbolic gesture highlights India’s rich cultural heritage while fostering international goodwill through artistic exchange.
