Vintage Japanese lacquered natural wood three tiered lidded box.
Turned wood* and beautifully hand crafted from natural wood and coated with high quality natural Japanese Urushi lacquer. The artisan has used a ‘koma’ or spinning top design which is the traditional design from the island of Shikoku. Concentric raised circles in varying bright colors of green, red, yellow and black lacquer gives this accessory a real ‘spinning top’ moment. Natural lacquer inside.
Estimated early 20th century from Kyoto, Japan.
Approximate Measurements: Width – 7.25 inch. Depth – 7.25 inch. Height – 7.7 inch
*Turned wood marks the begining of the industrial revolution, late 16th early 17thC.
Having discovered the cosmic experience of the earth and moon turning around the sun, it was like a philosophical experience, for pleasure by bringing the philosophical concept to everyday, tea experience and playful tops
