Natsume - 蓝贝壳珍珠母贝镶嵌 - 黑漆夏目枣
This is a black lacquered Natsume (tea caddy) adorned with intricate mother-of-pearl inlay work, including a wooden box.
Mother-of-pearl inlay, known as "Raden" in the world of lacquerware and woodworking, is an elaborate and time-consuming decorative technique that has been used for centuries. It involves embedding mother-of-pearl, which has a pearlescent sheen, into a base material or lacquered surface and then polishing it to a fine finish. In the realm of lacquerware, thicker pieces of shell are referred to as "Raden," while thinner, more delicate pieces are known as "Aogai Raden."
This Natsume is beautifully adorned with an all-over pattern of grass and flowers on a black base. It is in good condition, although there is some dirt between the container and the lid, and there are slight scratches on the underside. Please refer to the photos for more details.
