Description from the seller
Japanese Lacquer Maki-e Tray Set with Landscapes – Set of Five
This is a refined set of five Japanese wooden lacquer trays, decorated with delicate maki-e landscape scenes. Each tray features a hand-painted mountainous scenery with trees, houses, and flowing terrain, rendered with traditional Japanese aesthetic sensibility.
The set is composed of five trays in graduated sizes from smaller to larger, with each tray presenting a different maki-e landscape design. The varied compositions create a gentle visual rhythm while maintaining a harmonious overall aesthetic, allowing the trays to be appreciated both individually and as a complete ensemble.
The deep black lacquer surface provides a striking contrast to the soft green, gold, and red tones of the scenery, enhancing both depth and elegance. Suitable for serving, display, or as decorative interior pieces, this set reflects the quiet beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, combining functionality with refined artistic expression.
