Japanese Lacquerware Box with Crane Motif – Black and Gold Palette (Unused, with Original Case) Featuring a classic, pure black high‑gloss finish, this lacquer box presents a refined and elegant presence. The exterior is decorated with hand‑painted gold crane motifs; the delicate raised lines create a subtle three‑dimensional effect that highlights the craftsmanship and sophistication of the piece. Crafted using meticulous traditional Japanese lacquer techniques, the interior is lined with a single piece of deep blue fabric, providing a soft, non‑slip surface that protects its contents while adding a touch of luxurious texture. This example remains unused and comes complete with its original red case, also decorated with a crane motif—an uncommon and highly desirable feature for collectors. In Japanese culture, cranes symbolize longevity, prosperity, and good fortune—often associated with the phrase “Pine and Crane for a Long Life.” Condition: Unused vintage condition. Minimal age‑related wear from long‑term storage only. No damage. Height: 17 cm Width: 14.5 cm Depth: 4 cm
