To imagine the amount of time that has gone into the making of this gorgeous lacquer incense container is difficult. It is made with no center, simply layer upon layer of lacquer dried, cut, shaped and polished to a brilliant sheen. The green shade is indicative of the Tsugaru region. The colors swirl and mingle, never mixing, the dozens of layers visible on the cut edge. It comes enclosed in a period wooden box and measures 1-3/4 inches (4.5 cm) in diameter and is in excellent condition, da ...click for details

Birds float effortlessly over the snow capped peak of Mt. Fuji rising from golden clouds on this mingei style carved wooden dish enclosed in an ancient wooden box. Outside it is roughly carved with wide swaths cut from the block with sweeping strokes of a razor sharp chisel. At once primitive in form and yet fine in the lacquer details. The box lid is heavily worm eaten and worn with age. Likely Meiji period, the dish is 8 inches (21 cm) diameter and in fine condition.

A brilliant Rimpa inspired lacquer tray designed with blossoming fronds in gold and nashiji maki-e augmented with lead, the blossoms of mother of pearl; certainly a fine specimen in the Korin tradition. A bronze rim circles the ro-iro tray with additional floral sprays outside. There is some wear to the base, and a few lacquer cracks along one portion of the edge. Overall it is in excellent displayable condition, especially considering the age (late 18th to the opening of the 19th century). ...click for details
