The bowls are adorned with an elegant pine crane makie design, an artistic symbol of longevity and auspiciousness, as the pine is evergreen and the crane is fabled to live for a thousand years. Makie is a traditional Japanese lacquerware decoration technique where gold or silver powder is sprinkled onto the lacquer before it dries, creating exquisite patterns that glisten with metallic sheen. The set is in good condition, with only minor wear indicative of their age and past use. Please note that the wooden box has a split and in not very good condition, reflecting its age and historic journey. Refer to the photographs for a detailed view of the items' condition.
