Description from the seller

Period: Showa 1926-1989
Dimensions: 33x25x8 cm

An elegant rectangular wooden box (Fubako) finished with a glossy lacquer surface with elavte the natural dark wood grain. The lid is decorated with a refined makie motif depicting a flowing vine with stylized golden leaves and small red berries, arranged in a harmonious composition characteristic of modern Japanese decorative arts.
The reverse side of the box is finished in a deep, nearly black lacquer with pronounced wood-grain effect, providing a sophisticated contrast to the decorated front. The craftsmanship is precise, with careful attention to the rendering of the foliage and the overall balance of the design.
A refined piece suitable for collectors, interior display, or as a traditional container for documents, calligraphy sheets, or small personal items.
