Japanese Lacquer Pair of Wooden Trays Maple&Sakura Makie Tea Ceremony By Heiando MA663
This is a stunning set of two lacquered rectangular trays crafted by Heiando (平安堂), a respected lacquerware workshop based in Kyoto, known for its refined and elegant traditional designs. Made during the Showa era, these trays are adorned with exquisite gold makie (蒔絵) artwork depicting the poetic Tatsutagawa (龍田川) stream, with maple leaves and cherry blossoms dancing on flowing water—a seasonal and culturally rich motif found in classic Japanese literature and Noh drama. The black lacquer provides a dramatic contrast that highlights the delicate red and gold details. The set consists of two sizes, both flat and lightweight yet durable, suitable for serving tea, sweets, or for display. It comes with the original wooden storage box, making it ideal for collectors, tea ceremony use, or as a refined interior accent. A perfect fusion of aesthetic tradition and functional craftsmanship.
