This refined Japanese lacquerware document box (bunko)【文庫】 was crafted in 1987 using the traditional Aizu-nuri【会津塗】technique. The piece features a deep tame-nuri【溜塗】lacquer ground, elegantly decorated with gold maki-e fan motifs. Inside each fan, auspicious designs of bamboo, pine, plum, and flowers are depicted, with the interiors of the fans finished entirely in shimmering gold nashiji【金梨地】 The combination of pine, bamboo, and plum symbolizes longevity, resilience, and good fortune, while the floral motifs add refinement and visual balance. This harmonious design gives the piece both formality and decorative appeal. Ideal for storing documents, letters, or treasured items, this bunko also makes a fine addition to a collection of traditional Japanese lacquerware.
