Description from the seller

Description:
A charming collection of small Japanese decorative boxes in mixed materials and styles. The group includes a finely carved wooden box with geometric and floral motifs, a compact dark metal lidded box, a red lacquer box decorated with pine needles in maki-e style, and a miniature box with geometric shell inlay resembling raden work. These intimate objects reflect the Japanese appreciation for craftsmanship in everyday accessories, combining natural materials, subtle ornamentation, and practical function. Ideal as small incense, seal, or trinket boxes, the set offers a beautiful contrast of textures including carved wood, lacquer, metal, and shell inlay. Signs of age and use contribute to their vintage character and atmosphere.


NOTICE


The lot will be carefully packaged and sent by Japan Post depending on the situation.
It normally takes about 3–4 weeks for delivery. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Sometimes customs authorities or the delivery company in your country may contact you by phone or email for customs clearance procedures. Please make sure you are available to respond. We appreciate your cooperation.

Please note that due to the current conflict situation in the Middle East, international shipping routes from Japan to certain European destinations, including Portugal and the Czech Republic, are experiencing significant delays or temporary suspensions. Delivery times may therefore be longer than usual. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your kind understanding.
