Unused, long-term storage item: an Akikusa Maki-e Biwa Kogo (incense container) This is a work by Takaya Nakamura, with a bookmark and a signed box. There is a box inscription by someone on the inside of the lid. It is a Biwa-shaped incense container made with wood-grained lacquer, with Akikusa Maki-e (autumn grass design) on the lid. There is also Akikusa Maki-e on the nashiji (pear skin ground) on the inside of the lid. The inside of the body is nashiji only. There are no damages such as stains, cracks, or chips, but please forgive any oversight of scratches or cloudiness. The signed box is also beautiful, but please forgive any minor stains. Although it is a beautiful item, we ask for your understanding that it has been stored privately. Free shipping, we plan to ship via Mercari. #Rikyu #Sotan #Sensou #Gen Gensai #Ennosai #Tantansai #Houunsai #Zabosai #Seisai #Sokuchusai #Jimyosai #Naosai #Omotesenke #Urasenke #Onishi #Eiraku #Chado (tea ceremony utensils) #Daitokuji #Kaiseki utensils #Kado (flower arrangement) #Vase #Pottery #Furo (tea ceremony brazier) #Antique #Tetsubin (iron kettle) #Nambu Tekki (Nambu ironware) #Gold #Kenzan #Makuzu #Sakaida Kakiemon #Imaemon #Yuko #Nishijin-ori (Nishijin weaving) #Tokusai #Imari #Kutani #Nabeshima #Kyoyaki (Kyoto ware) #Kyoto #Living National Treasure #Shokokuji #Ceramics #Kodo (incense utensils) #Kodo (way of incense) #Koro (incense burner) #Furo (tea ceremony brazier) #Shichijishiki (seven formal tea ceremony procedures) #Chaji (tea gathering) #Yodori (evening tea ceremony) #Antique #Shinoryu (Shino school) #Enshu #Fumai #Koicha (thick tea) #Usucha (thin tea) #Hamada Shoji #Inoue Manji #Kobayashi Taigen Rikyu Sotan Sensou Gen Gensai Ennosai Tantansai Houunsai Zabosai Seisai Sokuchusai Jimyosai Naosai Omotesenke Urasenke Onishi Eiraku Chado Daitokuji Kaiseki utensils Kado Vase Pottery Furo Antique Tetsubin Nambu Tekki Gold Kenzan Makuzu Sakaida Kakiemon Imaemon Yuko Nishijin-ori Tokusai Imari Kutani Nabeshima Kyoyaki Kyoto Living National Treasure Shokokuji Ceramics Kodo Kodo Koro Furo Shichijishiki Chaji Yodori Antique Shinoryu Enshu Fumai Koicha Usucha Hamada Shoji Inoue Manji Kobayashi Taigen
