Unused, long-term storage item: a Tantansai-style replica Umetsuki Natsume (tea caddy).
A work by Yo-sai Okamoto, with a matching box.
The large oritome red lacquer natsume features a black lacquer plum design and a silver moon maki-e (sprinkled picture).
There is a small indentation on the bottom. There are no cracks or wrinkles in the lacquer, so it is likely a wood grain feature or an original wood indentation.
There are no breaks or chips, but please be aware of some scuffing.
The matching box is in good condition, but there is some slight yellowing.
Although it is a beautiful item, please understand that it has been stored by an individual.
Free shipping, scheduled to be sent via Rakuraku Mercari delivery.
