"The golden age of the past" is the result of many years of efforts to collect and preserve the old beauties of a group of authors who love history and culture. By taking a new approach, exploiting antiquities from many aspects, ages, characteristics of materials to manufacturing techniques or stories behind, the book wishes to convey the value of these antiques to the reader. Whether it is a royal item or an item handed down in folklore, each has its own stature, providing us with a perspective into the life of a golden age.
