This is a very elegant confectionery container with a layered lacquer finish and inlaid mother-of-pearl. This container is from about 30 years ago, when I was enjoying Japanese tea and had the opportunity to attend a class. The deep, layered lacquer surface has a luster and transparency unique to aged lacquer. The surrounding mother-of-pearl lightning pattern is made up of precise inlays, each one connected, and the interference colors of blue, green, and pink add elegance to the narrow spaces. The alignment of the mother-of-pearl pieces and the uniform spacing of the patterns both demonstrate the quality craftsmanship of a bygone era. The neat 18cm square proportion is ideal for a confectionery container, and despite its small size, it has the power to define a space. The appearance of ginger candy wrapped in Japanese paper on the container highlights the beauty of the container's design, and I believe it quietly speaks to its essence as a "tool for preparing tea time." The shimmer of the mother-of-pearl is not excessive, but rather understated, as if complementing the depth of the lacquer, while still exuding a definite presence and dignity. The integrity as a craft, the functional beauty as a tool, and the unwavering appearance despite the passage of time. I think it is a "craft item that lives in everyday life." The appearance of the tool is very important as a "scene" that brings a quiet atmosphere to tea time. The 18cm square size is a versatile size that looks elegant whether used as a confectionery container for the main sweets or as a small tray for a seasonal dish. It has been stored in a paper box for a long time. The wrapping paper shows signs of aging. The main body has some minor scratches, but they are difficult to see unless you look closely. Please purchase with the understanding that it is an old item. The main body has a beautiful luster and is in very clean condition. For some reason, the wrapping paper is quite deteriorated. It's a bit puzzling, and I have no idea why it's deteriorated, but I think you will find the work itself very beautiful. In the photos, the light reflects off the surface, making it look like it has been used, but the actual lacquer surface is flawlessly beautiful. This is just my personal opinion. I hope that those who appreciate it will find it useful.
