Tsuishu is a time-consuming traditional lacquerware technique in which layers of red lacquer (urushi) are repeatedly applied to create thickness, and then patterns such as flowers, birds, and landscapes are deeply carved into the layered lacquer surface. Sendai Tsuishu was established in the late Meiji era when the technique of Murakami Tsuishu from Niigata Prefecture was introduced and improved, and it is characterized by an efficient molding method. The contrast between the deep vermilion and black lacquer stands out, and the intricate landscape carving on the lid gives it an artistic quality like a painting. It has a sense of weight and is a masterpiece that adds a touch of class to the tea ceremony. • Product Name: Sendai Tsuishu Kogo (Incense Container) • Examples of Use: As a Kogo for the tea ceremony, a small item holder for small accessories, seals, etc., or as a writing box in a study. • Accessories: Outer box, explanatory notes (with scratches and stains due to aging) ■Size■Approx.
