Description： A refined Japanese lacquer natsume (棗) tea caddy signed Eiji (栄治), accompanied by its original signed wooden storage box (tomobako). The piece is finished in deep black lacquer and decorated with delicate gold and colored maki-e. The lid features overlapping decorative panels depicting Mount Fuji, birds, maple leaves and blossoms, creating a poetic composition inspired by Japanese seasonal scenery. The body continues the Mt. Fuji motif in a contrasting rectangular reserve, accented by fine linear details. Its restrained cylindrical form and glossy black surface provide an elegant background for the finely executed decoration. Made as a container for powdered matcha in the Japanese tea ceremony, the piece also has strong decorative appeal as traditional Japanese lacquerware. Minor signs of age and use are visible. Please refer carefully to the photographs for the overall condition.A refined Japanese lacquer natsume (棗) tea caddy signed Eiji (栄治), accompanied by its original signed wooden storage box (tomobako).
