Exquisite Wajima Lacquer Suzuribako (Writing Box) by Asami Shomatsu – Quail & Wisteria Maki-e – Daimaru Art Gallery Provenance[輪島塗硯箱　浅見庄松造　大丸美術部]

【Description】
This is an exceptional Japanese Suzuribako (writing box) created by the renowned Wajima lacquer artist Asami Shomatsu, representing the highest tradition of Japanese lacquer craftsmanship.

The lid is adorned with an exquisite Maki-e composition depicting a pair of quails beneath gracefully cascading wisteria blossoms. The meticulous rendering of the quails’ plumage and the subtle tonal gradation of the wisteria flowers demonstrate an outstanding level of technical mastery and artistic refinement.

Executed in Wajima-nuri, Japan’s most prestigious lacquerware tradition, this piece benefits from the renowned “Jinoko” undercoating process, celebrated for its exceptional durability, depth, and longevity.

The work is accompanied by its original signed wooden box (Tomobako), along with an authentication leaflet issued by the Daimaru Art Department, one of Japan’s most respected and elite art retailers. This provenance significantly enhances both the credibility and collectible value of the piece.
