Vintage Japanese Wakasa Lacquer Folder for Poems and Paintings

About the Item

A Japanese Wakasa lacquer folder to carry poems and paintings. It has a silver raised Togidashi maki-e design of cherry blossom, created by layering multiple coats of lacquer to build up the design. It is secured by a maroon silk tie. The interior is black lacquer, and it is signed on the base by the artist. Unlike other forms of lacquer ware production, the entire process of production of Wakasa is done by a single craftsman. Wakasa lacquer ware is prized for its artistic merit as well as its functionality. It comes with the original paulownia wood storage box.

Japanese Lacquered Tebako 'Box'

Located in PARIS, FR

Tebako box with three compartments in golden and nashi-ji lacquer, decorated with golden, red, and kirigane lacquer, golden persimmon tree leaves, among rocks. The compartments are of increasing size from the top. The decoration is in continuity. Persimmon has been cultivated in southern China for more than 2500 years and is believed to have been introduced to Japan in the 8th century. The veneer is a tree with very hard wood, similar to ebony. According to a legend, one specimen survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, close to the epicenter. It is therefore in Japan a symbol of strength and longevity. It is also the national fruit of the country. It is eaten as a traditional dish during New Year's Day celebrations. Tebako literally means "portable box...
