A red lacquered lidded container with floral carvings, a double structure in the shape of a petal. Tsuishu is a technique where lacquer is repeatedly applied to create a thickness of about 15mm, and then patterns are carved into it. It takes a great deal of time and skill to complete a single tsuishu work. Due to the high level of skill involved, tsuishu, along with the porcelain of Jiangxi and the embroidery of Hubei, is counted among the "Three Great Arts of China." The actual vermilion color feels a bit more subdued and muted than in the photo. Please purchase only if you understand that this is an old, historical item. This is a truly magnificent piece. Lid: 15cm, Base: 12cm Depth: 4cm at the base, about 10cm including the knob. It was listed for 29,000 yen some time ago, but was withdrawn. I would be grateful if you would consider it.
