Takayama Shikki (高山漆器) - Box (2) - Lacquer, Wood, Silk - Lacquer 2-Piece Set

Premium Hida Shunkei Lacquer & Kyoto Nishijin-style Silk Stationery Set: Document Box & Handled Overnight Valet Tray by Takayama Shikki (With Certified Box Stamps) A magnificent, museum-quality 2-piece luxury desk stationery suite showcasing a prestigious combination of two iconic Japanese traditional crafts: authentic Hida Shunkei-nuri (飛騨春慶塗) lacquerware by Takayama Shikki (高山漆器) from Gifu, and premium traditional woven Kyoto Nishijin-style silk brocade. [Impeccable Certified Provenance] Both items come complete with their original presentation boxes bearing the official artisan "Hida Shunkei Craft Association Seals" (特産 飛騨春慶) and the maker's identification. The set includes the original historical leaflets from Takayama Shikki, guaranteeing 100% authentic, government-certified Japanese craftsmanship. [Masterful 2-Piece Suite & Techniques] 1. "Asukagomo" (飛鳥衣) Hida Shunkei & Silk Brocade Document Box (文箱) - Exterior Frame: Masterfully finished in authentic Hida Shunkei-nuri. This renowned technique applies a beautiful, highly transparent amber-colored clear lacquer (透き漆) that brilliantly enhances and preserves the natural, elegant grain of the premium wood underneath. - Silk Brocade Lid: The center of the lid features high-end Kyoto Nishijin-style silk brocade. It features a spectacular, densely woven "Mujina-kiku" (むじな菊 - stylized chrysanthemum) floral motif in gold, silver, and vibrant purple threads, showing a radiant oriental aesthetic that dynamically shifts its metallic brilliance depending on the light angle. - Interior: Completely lined with rich, deep purple protective velvet/felt material, designed to safely store important letters, precious documents, or luxury fountain pens. 2. Matching Hida Shunkei-nuri Handled Overnight Valet Tray / Desk Organizer (忘れな盆) - Design & Function: A beautifully matching golden-amber Hida Shunkei lacquered tray featuring a masterfully carved central carrying handle and 4 sorted compartments. This item is traditionally known in Japan as a "Wasurena-bon" (Overnight Valet Tray), perfect for elegantly sorting luxury fountain pens, premium watches, seals, or gentlemen's accessories at the bedside or desk. - Luxury Textile Interior: The bottoms of the compartments are meticulously lined with an elegant traditional green fabric equivalent to premium Nishijin silk brocade, woven with genuine gold threads and showcasing intricate chrysanthemum and arabesque patterns that glimmer beautifully under the light. [Size & Weight (Approx.)] - Stationery Box: 24.0 cm x 31.5 cm x 7.5 cm (Weight: 550g / 700g including original box) - Valet Tray: 23.0 cm x 28.5 cm x 3.2 cm (Weight: 250g / 500g including original box) - Total Weight: Approx. 800g (Net) / 1,200g (With original boxes) [Condition] Excellent, pristine vintage condition across both items. The Hida Shunkei lacquer maintains its deep, glossy mirror-like finish with flawless edges (absolutely no chips, scratches, or lacquer loss). The woven textiles on both the box lid and tray interior are flawlessly clean, vibrant, and free of loose threads. [Shipping] Shipped carefully from Japan with professional, multi-layered protective packing via tracked premium airmail (EMS or FedEx/DHL). Any customs duties or import taxes are the buyer's responsibility.
