Description This is a beautifully crafted Japanese lacquerware box from Takaoka, featuring an elegant raden (mother‑of‑pearl) inlay of a bird perched on a blossoming branch under a golden moon. The shimmering abalone and shell pieces create a vivid, iridescent effect that changes beautifully with the light. The black surface has a deep, refined gloss that highlights the intricate artwork.
The box is finished with a high‑quality cashew lacquer coating, which offers a rich, glossy appearance similar to traditional urushi while providing excellent durability. This modern lacquer technique is widely used in contemporary Japanese lacquerware and enhances the depth and beauty of the design.
This piece is ideal for collectors of Japanese crafts, interior décor, or anyone who appreciates fine artisan work.
