This exquisite tea caddy is crafted by Yoshiko Matsui, a certified member of the Japan Kōgei Association and a distinguished lacquer artist from Ishikawa, known for refined Kaga-style maki-e. The piece features a lush “young pine” motif rendered with exceptionally fine gold powder, giving depth and natural movement to the foliage. The glossy black lacquer surface enhances the shimmering gold, creating a beautifully balanced and elegant presence. The caddy is in excellent condition and comes complete with its original tomobako (signed wooden box), yellow cord, and the artist’s printed biography. A superb example of contemporary traditional lacquer artistry, ideal for tea ceremony use or collection.
