Bronze magic mirrors (like the one at CAM ) are indeed rare, but not that rare. To date, over twenty religious-themed magic mirrors have been identified, including four featuring a Christian motif. This guide presents twelve of them, located at museums in Japan, the UK, and the USA. There are two distinct types of magic mirror: one-plated and two-plated. One-plated magic mirrors originated in ancient times. Extant examples are abundant. Two-plated magic mirrors like CAM&#8217;s are very scarce and [it seems] of relatively recent origin. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"This guide (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onmarkproductions.com\/JAHF\/japanese-magic-mirrors-reference-guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">This guide<\/a> presents both varieties, but the main focus is on two-plated magic mirrors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onmarkproductions.com\/JAHF\/japanese-magic-mirrors-reference-guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/onmarkproductions.com\/Buddha-Statues\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/wordpress-magic-mirrors-2.jpg\" alt=\"Jump directly to the Magic Mirror Guidebook at https:\/\/www.onmarkproductions.com\/JAHF\/japanese-magic-mirrors-reference-guide.pdf\" class=\"wp-image-1583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onmarkproductions.com\/Buddha-Statues\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/wordpress-magic-mirrors-2.jpg 634w, https:\/\/onmarkproductions.com\/Buddha-Statues\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/wordpress-magic-mirrors-2-209x300.jpg 209w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Click above image to jump to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Beginner's Guide to Magic Mirrors (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onmarkproductions.com\/JAHF\/japanese-magic-mirrors-reference-guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Magic Mirrors<\/a>.  <br>\u2588 KEYWORDS. \u900f\u5149\u93e1\u30fb\u9b54\u93e1\u30fb\u5e73\u539f\u907a\u8de1\u30fb\u4e09\u7a2e\u306e\u795e\u5668\u30fb\u53e4\u93e1\u8a18\u30fb\u738b\u5ea6\u30fb\u4e09\u89d2\u7e01\u795e\u7363\u93e1\u30fb\u5357\u65e0\u963f\u5f25\u9640\u4f5b\u30fb\u5357\u7121\u963f\u5f4c\u9640\u4ecf\u30fb\u5ff5\u4f5b\u30fb\u5929\u4e0b\u4e00\u30fb\u898b\u65e5\u4e4b\u5149\u30fb\u5929\u4e0b\u5927\u660e\u30fb\u8e0f\u307f\u8fd4\u3057\u92f3\u9020\u6cd5\u30fb\u5c71\u672c\u5408\u91d1\u88fd\u4f5c\u6240.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onmarkproductions.com\/Buddha-Statues\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/wordpress-magic-mirrors-1.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download><\/a><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jump directly to the Magic Mirror Guidebook.
