Magnificent Masterpiece "Sanuki Lacquerware" 2-Tier Japanese Ju-bako - Luxurious Chrysanthemum & Raden (Mother-of-Pearl) Maki-e with Lid-Reverse Landscape Painting & Original Antique Box (Kagawa Craft)

【Description】
textAn absolute masterpiece of high-end traditional Japanese lacquerware from the prestigious "Sanuki / Kagawa" lineage, famous for its centuries-old lacquer techniques. This is an exceptionally luxurious 2-tier Ju-bako (stacking box) that showcases the pinnacle of mid-to-late 20th-century Kagawa artisan execution, featuring an incredibly dense and magnificent design of Chrysanthemums (Kiku) along a bamboo fence (Magaki)—a traditional and auspicious Japanese motif symbolizing nobility and longevity.

Key Features & Museum-Quality Artistry:
- Historic Heritage: Crafted in Kagawa (Sanuki), a region historically designated for national traditional lacquer crafts. This provenance ensures authentic, premium-grade execution.
- Exterior Craftsmanship: Every single chrysanthemum petal is rendered with astonishing precision using fine gold maki-e lines. The center of the flowers features large, thick, premium-grade Raden (mother-of-pearl) inlays that brilliantly capture light, showing dramatic iridescent hues of emerald green, deep blue, and pink.
- Hidden Luxury (Lid Reverse): The inner side of the main lid conceals a breathtaking, fine landscape painting (Sansui) depicting traditional houses, pine trees, and wild birds in flight. In high-end Japanese tea ceremony and banquet culture, this "hidden elegance" is the ultimate sign of status.
- Stately Dimensions: Features a grand, imposing square size of 23.5 cm x 23.5 cm, giving it a commanding aesthetic presence for display.
- Authentic Provenance: Comes complete with its authentic, antique dark-lacquered protective wooden storage box, confirming its historical lineage and high-collectible status.

Condition:
Superb vintage condition with a radiant, mirror-like lacquer luster. The gold maki-e and Raden inlays are remarkably well-preserved with no missing pieces. The protective outer wooden box shows natural antique wear, scuffs, and minor lacquer chips on the corners, which beautifully underscores its authentic age and history.
