Lacquer Box - Bonbonniere - Karakusa Red

The deep, shiny luster of black or dark red lacquerware, often gorgeously decorated with gold and silver or inlaid with mother-of-pearl, is a Japanese handicraft form that has long fascinated the world. No other application style can match the deep hues and smoothness of Japanese lacquer (urushi in Japanese).

Lacquerware stands as one of the most distinctive forms of Japanese beauty.
