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...

The small vertical rectangular box crafted of black lacquer and inlaid with fine, highly iridescent mother of pearl, and topped with a fitted cover. The interior lacquered vermillion red. The design on this small is related to longevity. One side features a large gnarled pine tree sheltering a pair of elegant deer munching on yeongji. Pine and deer are symbols of longevity. Yeongji, known as lingzhi in China, or reishi in Japan, is known as the Fungus of Immortality. The opposite side features a pair of swimming turtles and a pair of cranes flying overhead. Again, both cranes and turtles are symbols of long life. One of the turtles in this case seems to be a Japanese minogame...

A pair of drawers below complete the cabinet. All supported on a separate tall fitted stand. The corner door decorated with a bold scene of a samurai warrior fighting a demon.
