Description： This elegant Japanese lacquer tea caddy (natsume) is decorated with a refined autumn foliage (momiji and sakura) maki-e design, evoking the quiet beauty of seasonal transition. The rounded form is finished in deep black urushi lacquer, providing a rich, glossy ground for the gold and softly toned maki-e motifs. Maple leaves and blossoms are scattered rhythmically across the surface, creating a sense of gentle movement and natural balance. The restrained use of color and negative space reflects the aesthetics of the tea ceremony, where subtlety and atmosphere are valued over overt decoration. The interior is finished smoothly, suitable for holding powdered tea, while the well-fitting lid demonstrates careful craftsmanship. Accompanied by its original wooden tomobako, this natsume represents a fine example of mid-20th-century Japanese lacquerware. It is well suited for use in tea gatherings or as a tasteful display piece within a collection of traditional tea utensils or Japanese decorative arts. NOTICE
