78.54 $
Description
This is a long natsume (tea caddy) by Shibo Arai, highly regarded in the world of Japanese tea ceremony utensils.
The deep, subdued, and lustrous tamenuri lacquer finish provides a beautiful base for the exquisite gold maki-e (gold lacquer sprinkled on) depicting irises, creating a truly magnificent piece. The iris motif, evoking the early summer season, is a very popular design for tea gatherings during this time of year, as well as for decorative items to enhance your room.
The refined brushwork characteristic of Shibo Arai is evident, with each petal meticulously rendered. The beauty of the gold maki-e, which shines brilliantly depending on the light, is captivating. The fusion of the transparent quality of the lacquer, which deepens with age, unique to tamenuri, and traditional maki-e techniques, results in what can only be described as perfect craftsmanship.
The long natsume is easy to hold, and its distinctive form adds an elegant accent to the tea ceremony setting. We confidently recommend this masterpiece not only for serious tea ceremony practice but also as a valuable addition to your collection.
