Japanese Samurai Sword Rack Stand 3 Tier 16.9In Gold Landscape Motif KATANA-KAKE MB174
This is an original Japanese three-sword stand (Katana-kake) crafted from wood and finished with traditional black urushi lacquer, decorated with an elegant landscape (Sansui) motif in gold maki-e. The serene mountain-and-water scenery reflects classical Japanese aesthetics, emphasizing balance, depth, and a quiet sense of refinement rather than bold ornamentation.
The gold maki-e landscape is applied with restraint against the deep black lacquer ground, creating a dignified contrast that highlights the contours of the design without overpowering the form. Landscape motifs have long been favored for sword stands, as they complement the spiritual and aesthetic presence of the swords while maintaining a calm and formal atmosphere.
Designed to hold three swords, this stand offers both functionality and visual harmony. Sword stands of this type were intended not only for storage but also for display, enhancing the presentation of katana and wakizashi in traditional interiors or dedicated collections. Produced during the Showa period, this piece reflects continued appreciation for classical lacquer techniques adapted for modern-era use.
