Description： This refined ōhira-natsume tea caddy is decorated with an elegant chikurin (bamboo grove) motif executed in fine maki-e on a deep black lacquer ground. Slender bamboo stalks and gently overlapping leaves are rendered in gold lacquer with controlled variation in tone, creating a rhythmic yet tranquil surface that fully envelops the rounded form. The slightly flattened proportions of the ōhira shape emphasize stability and quiet presence, well suited to formal tea gatherings. The bamboo motif, symbolizing integrity, resilience, and purity, has long been favored in the aesthetics of the tea ceremony. The lustrous lacquer surface reflects light softly, enhancing the layered composition without overpowering it. Accompanied by its original wooden tomobako inscribed by the artist, this piece exemplifies the restrained sophistication of modern Kyoto lacquerware and the continued vitality of traditional maki-e craftsmanship.
