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 writting set in waqasa lacquer including bundai ryoshibako and fudebako
Located in PARIS, FR
Set of bundai, ryōshibako and fudebako in wakasa lacquer with an old rose background and black traditional Japanese patterns.
The saya pattern (or sayagata) is composed by Chinese svastikas. This symbol linked to Buddhism, mean intelligence, power and peace. It is a good omen sign.
The kanoko pattern reminds stains on fawn back.
The sakura (cherry blossom) pattern is emblematic of Japan. The blossoming in a short time marks spring beginning and is a symbol of renewal and ephemeral beauty.
There are also traces of calligraphy brush, in reference to the function of the objects.
Bundai is a low table used to put books or scrolls and, later, to write.
Rectangular ryōshibako (letter and document box) with a slightly domed
Fudebako (pencil case) of rectangular format very narrow in its length with two rounded corners, flat cover.
