AA267 Tsuishu is a type of Japanese traditional craft, a lacquerware made by layering dozens or hundreds of coats of red lacquer, and then carving designs into the thick coating. This box can be used as a writing box, a suzuribako (writing set box), or a small item case. The landscape carving is beautiful. Size: 18cm x 15.5cm x 7cm This is an antique, vintage item from the past, a rare part of an antique collection. There are natural stains and fine scratches due to aging from long-term storage. There are also areas where the color has chipped off. It's unclear if this is how it was originally made, but it's not the type that fits together securely; the lid rests on top, so the stability is low. I have included close-up images to show the scratches and stains, but please feel free to comment if you have any concerns about points that are difficult to see in the images or any other details. Please consider this item not only for practical use, but also for display as interior decor, or as part of an antique collection.
