AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Japanese vintage lacquer writing box (Shikishi Bunko / Document box) featuring a traditional "Kissho Tsuru" (Auspicious Cranes) design.
【Design & Fine Craftsmanship】
The exterior of the lid features a flawless, mirror-like glossy black lacquer finish. It is decorated with two flying cranes and traditional pine needles (Matsu). In Japanese culture, cranes and pine trees are celebrated as symbols of longevity, peace, and good fortune.
The craftsmanship is particularly visible in the fine, geometric line art on the cranes' wings, rendered in gold and purple lacquer.
Upon opening the box, the entire interior of both the base and the inside of the lid is finished with the "Nashiji" (gold flake scattering) lacquer technique. This provides a stunning, glittering golden contrast against the black exterior.
【Condition & Inclusions】
The item is in excellent vintage condition, maintaining its beautiful glossy lacquer finish with no major signs of wear. The original white outer box features the official manufacturer's label printed with "11.0色紙文庫 黒塗 吉祥鶴" (11.0 Shikishi Bunko Black Lacquer Kissho Tsuru), serving as reliable provenance data.
It comes complete with the original storage box, protective wrapping paper, and the original care instruction leaflet.
Highly functional as a luxury desktop document organizer, stationary box, or as a sophisticated cultural accent for Japandi and minimalist interiors.

・Weight: 1500g (1750g including the original box / Total shipping weight approx. 3100g)
