【Product details】
This exquisite Meiji era writing box (suzuribako) set features a black lacquered exterior adorned with gold maki-e designs of peonies. Maki-e is a traditional Japanese decorative technique where gold or silver powder is sprinkled onto wet lacquer to produce intricate designs. Peonies symbolize prosperity, good fortune, and honor in Japanese culture.
The interior is decorated with butterflies in nashiji, a technique using gold or silver flecks to achieve a pear skin-like texture, offering a unique shimmer and depth to the surface. Butterflies signify transformation, joy, and the ephemeral nature of life.
Included in the set is a suzuri (inkstone) and a water dropper adorned with engraved grapevine motifs.
The box exhibits wear, scratches, and chips in the lacquer due to age, with visible repairs on the lid. Verdigris is present on the water dropper. Please refer to the photos for details on its condition.
Dimensions: approx. H 4.5 cm W 27 cm D 21.5 cm
