The Red Japanese Collectible Round 4" Lacquer Box is a traditional and elegant piece that showcases Japanese culture.
Made with lacquer, a durable and shiny material, this box features intricate designs and vibrant red color that are typical of Japanese craftsmanship. Perfect for storing small items or as a decorative piece, this box is a unique addition to any collection or home decor inspired by Japanese aesthetics.
This elegant piece is a Japanese lacquerware box (often referred to as shikki or urushi).
The distinct square logo stamped in gold on the bottom (image.png) belongs to HAKOYA (manufactured by Tatsumiya), a highly regarded traditional brand based in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, known for combining classic lacquer aesthetics with modern functionality.
The design on the lid features two of Japan's most iconic seasonal motifs rendered in gold maki-e style outlines:
Sakura (Cherry Blossom): Representing spring.
Momiji (Maple Leaf): Representing autumn.
Together, these motifs create a classic "Spring and Autumn" (Shunju) theme, making the box appropriate to display or use year-round. Given its circular, shallow shape with a neatly fitting lid, these containers are traditionally used to store confections (as a kashiki or sweet box), small trinkets, or tea accessories.
