This is an extremely delicate and beautiful small box crafted by utilizing the natural shape of bamboo. The lid features a depiction of cherry blossoms in full bloom, rendered in gold maki-e lacquer and raden (mother-of-pearl inlay). The shell shimmers with iridescent colors depending on how the light hits it. The interior is finished with black lacquer, giving it a luxurious feel. It is perfect for storing accessories, a seal case, or other precious small items. [Details] <Materials:> Bamboo, natural shell (raden), lacquer finish <Condition> As this is an antique item, there are natural textures characteristic of bamboo and stains due to age.
