Description A refined set of five Japanese lacquer plates executed in deep gloss black with elegant gold maki-e decoration. Each plate features a beautifully composed scene of traditional figures walking through autumn grasses, rendered in fine gold lacquer against a mirror-like black ground. The composition is balanced and atmospheric, evoking classical Japanese seasonal aesthetics (susuki pampas grass and traveling figures), a motif associated with harvest season and refined Edo-period taste. The lacquer surface displays a rich, high-gloss finish with strong reflective depth. The gold decoration remains crisp and well-preserved, showing careful craftsmanship and controlled brushwork typical of quality Japanese lacquerware. A rare opportunity to acquire a coordinated maki-e lacquer set that combines traditional artistry with functional elegance. Ideal for collectors of Japanese lacquerware, Edo-style decorative arts, or refined Asian table presentation.
