春斎 Shunsai - Natsume - Lacquered Tea Caddy (Natsume) with Seven-Treasure and Maple Leaf Design in Gold Maki-e - Wood, lacquer - Lacquered Tea Caddy

Description：
This elegant natsume—used for the preparation of thin tea (usucha) in the tea ceremony—features a deep black lacquer ground delicately decorated with interlocking shippo (seven-treasure) motifs and scattered maple leaves in fine gold maki-e. The design harmonizes geometric rhythm and seasonal poetry, embodying the refined wabi-elegance of Japanese lacquer art. The piece is housed in its original signed tomobako (wooden box) bearing the artist’s inscription “春斎作 (Shunsai saku).” Such works are prized for their exquisite craftsmanship and as objects of quiet contemplation in the chanoyu tradition.
