Lacquered Suzuri-bako box with floral decoration
Lacquered Suzuri-bako with fitted interior.
The object features a compact and refined shape, with a rounded lid and a richly decorated exterior surface on a glossy black background. The ornamental repertoire, dominated by bamboo, flowers, and stylized vegetation, unfolds around a rocky element, creating an elegant balance between solids, voids, and flowing lines. The interior, fitted and organized into compartments, confirms its function as a suzuri-bako, a box intended to hold writing and calligraphy tools. The coexistence of decorative quality and daily use makes this box a particularly successful example of Japanese artistic craftsmanship.
