【Excellent Condition / Like New】Kanazawa Paulownia Wood Vase with Makie Decoration – Traditional Japanese Craft ※ There is no outer box. Description This is a refined Japanese wooden vase crafted using the techniques of Kanazawa Kirikougei (Kanazawa Paulownia Woodcraft). Based on the leaflet included with the item, it is likely made by Nagayama Kougei or a related workshop known for producing high-quality paulownia craftworks. The dark brown paulownia surface is decorated with traditional makie, applied by skilled artisans. This technique combines woodburning that enhances the grain of the paulownia with decorative lacquer sprinkled with gold or silver powder, often referred to as sabiage makie. The floral motif is executed with quiet elegance, giving the vase a serene wabi-sabi aesthetic. The vase remains in excellent, like-new condition, suggesting it was kept as a decorative or collectible item. It is a beautiful fusion of Kanazawa’s woodcraft and Japanese lacquer artistry.
