Description from the seller
Description:
This distinctive tea caddy by Kinsei (瑾斉) features a striking composition of concentric rings and horizontal bands in rich lacquer colors, including red, green, yellow, black, and natural tones. The rhythmic layering of color creates a sense of movement and visual depth, while the compact cylindrical form remains balanced and tactile. The precision of the lacquer work highlights the artist’s control and sensitivity to surface design.

Preserved in its original signed wooden box, it stands as a refined yet lively example of Japanese lacquer artistry.
