Sendai Tsuishu Document Box / Inkstone Box (Landscape Painting)

Sendai Tsui-shu is a proud craft of Sendai.
This is a lacquerware made using a technique where a molded base is repeatedly coated with red lacquer and then aged with black. It combines delicate carving with the Oriental beauty of red and black.

This is a document box (writing box) with a landscape painting carved all over it. I used it as a document box.
If you look closely, you can see two people, a flowing river, and trees that look like maple leaves carved into it... it sparks the imagination.

Due to age, there are areas where the red color has peeled off (photos 7, 8, 9), which I have now repaired for this listing. I believe they are less noticeable now compared to before (photos 10, 11, 12).

Also, there was text congratulating a housewarming on the underside of the lid, but I found it bothersome, so I have removed it (photo 5). If this is a concern for you, please refrain from purchasing.
