AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description
This is a small bunko-style lidded box from the Yamanaka-nuri line, titled "Tenjo no Mai" (Dance of the Heavens). Its glossy black surface is decorated with two gold-toned folding fans, one filled with flowers and the other with auspicious motifs. Looped cords with tassels in blue and green connect the fans. The design evokes the fans of celestial maidens dancing through the sky, an auspicious and elegant theme. The box is rectangular with softly rounded corners and a deep, fitted lid. It suits small keepsakes, stationery, letters or accessories, and would also make a refined gift.
The item is unused. It was kept in its box in a dark place at home and was opened only to check the contents and take photographs.

Seller's Story
A Japanese living in Japan, I appreciate traditional and modern art.
I specialize in selecting artworks that reflect quiet strength, refined beauty, and timeless craftsmanship of Japanese culture. My collection focuses on pieces that carry a story—whether traditional ukiyo‑e prints, contemporary works inspired by wabi‑sabi aesthetics, or handcrafted items created by regional artisans.
I take pride in offering works that are both visually compelling and culturally meaningful. Every item is carefully curated for authenticity, condition, and artistic value, ensuring that bidders can participate with confidence.
My goal is to connect international collectors with the richness of Japanese artistry—pieces that bring harmony, character, and a touch of Japan’s spirit into your home.
I look forward to sharing these works with you and hope they inspire the same appreciation and joy they bring to me.
