About the Item
Set of bundai, ryoshibako 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 ryoshibako (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.
Wakasa lacquerware (wakasa-nuri in Japanese) is a specialty of the Wakasa region in Fukui Prefecture, west of Lake Biwa on the Sea of Japan, produced from the early Edo period (1603-1868). This technique derives from togidashi maki-e and is characterized by the creation of patterns in eggshells, seashells or pine needles.
More specifically, the decoration is obtained by rubbing on superimposed layers of lacquer of different colors. This technique was not known in the West before Japan opened up to international trade*.

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.
