This is a "Hanamaru Shikunshi Maki-e Four-Tiered Jubako" from Wajima-nuri, Noto. On the sturdy wood base, the jet-black lacquer is applied, and the traditional Hanamaru pattern, which has been loved since ancient times, is depicted in maki-e, making it a masterpiece. Hanamaru is an auspicious design with the wish for continued happiness. Also, the pattern likens the elegant flowers to the intelligent "Gentlemen," who are people of high virtue and dignity. The "Shikunshi" expresses that personality by likening it to the four flowers: "Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, and Plum." The elegant colors and the maki-e arranged in an exquisite balance are very beautiful. In addition, only one leg of the base has maki-e, giving a sense of understated elegance. Wajima-nuri is one of Japan's leading lacquerwares, combining sturdiness and beauty. Please enjoy the Wajima-nuri lacquerware, whose luster does not change even after decades.
