Description
 This item is an antique lacquer box. If you open the door attached at the side of this box, you will find three cases inside. You can store small articles or enjoy this box as an interior decoration.

 The Tsuru (鶴, crane) pattern is designed for this box. It might be a family crest of this box’s former owner. We estimate these marks are depicted with the Makie (蒔絵) technique. The Makie is a typical Japanese lacquer art technique developed uniquely in Japan for about 1200 years. Firstly, it needs to draw a picture with lacquer on the surface with a thin brush. Next, sprinkle the gold powder above to show the pattern before the lacquer hardens. This technique makes a gorgeous and elegant look to works as you see in this lacquer box. The Tsuru pattern itself has been treated as an auspicious design that represents longevity. Based on this view, we would propose it would be good to send this lacquer box as a gift.

 *As this item is an antique, please check each photo and ensure its condition.
