About the Item

A very fine and rare Japanese Kamakura-bori carved wood and red lacquered incense stand, Edo period, early 19th century, Japan. The low stand is based on Chinese Ming Dynasty carved cinnabar lacquer prototypes, and features elegant cabriole legs supporting a masterfully carved table top of uchiwa (paddle fan) shape, with rounded edges and concave sides, above a high waist and shaped apron. A rectangular carved stretcher joins the legs. The top of the stand is intricately carved with the "Three Friends of Winter" motif of pine, bamboo and plum. The gnarled branches of pine and plum curving gracefully to form roundels, similar to kamon found in Japanese heraldry. The long stalk of bamboo seems to be woven through the dense diapered ground. Three maple leaves complete the design. The high waist, legs and stretcher are all deeply and boldly carved with sprays of peony blossoms. The shaped apron carved with sparrows flitting among large branches of flowering peony. The "Three Friends of Winter", pine, bamboo and plum, known as "shochikubai" in Japan, is a popular motif in art. Originally a Chinese concept, the three plants represent steadfastness and rebirth, as they flourish during the winter months and are often the first heralds of the coming spring. In Japanese culture, they are symbols of the new year. Kamakura-bori is a lacquer technique meant to imitate the look of Chinese carved lacquerware. Whereas Chinese carved lacquer involves first building up layers upon layers of lacquer before carving , kamakura bori lacquer involves first carving the wood, then applying the lacquer.
