This "Food Container" was crafted by Kamisaka Sekka, a prominent Japanese artist known for his lacquerware. Made around the 1920s, the box exhibits Sekka's meticulous craftsmanship and intricate designs. The vibrant red lacquer and a cut-out section revealing a floral motif add to the container's aesthetic appeal. It's a testament to the rich tradition of Japanese lacquer art, showcasing exquisite artistry and functionality. This small yet striking piece exemplifies the intersection of art and daily life in traditional Japanese culture.
Comments
Sekka’s younger brother Yūkichi was a lacquer artist and produced several of Sekka’s designs like this box. The cover of this vessel is cut with fan-shaped apertures to offer a glimpse of the decorated container beneath offering a unique and elegant play between the container and its lid.
