Description from the seller

Description:
This elegant Japanese lacquer tea caddy is decorated with a refined maki-e design of drooping willow branches and a gently arched bridge, rendered in warm gold against a deep reddish-brown ground. The rounded form is softly proportioned, fitting comfortably in the hand, while the lustrous lacquer surface reflects careful layering and polishing. The flowing willow motif conveys a sense of quiet movement and seasonal poetry, often associated with classical landscapes and tea aesthetics. Both decorative and functional, the piece embodies the harmony of craftsmanship and restraint valued in traditional Japanese tea culture.
