Exquisite **Autumn Grass Natsume** by master **Sokei**. This **Japanese Tea Caddy** features delicate **Autumn Flowers Makie** and **Gold Wheel Inlay**, making it a perfect **Ceremony Utensil** for **Autumn Tea Gathering**. Housed in a **Signed Tomobako**, it is an **Antique Lacquer Art** piece ideal for **Zen Home Decor** and **Japanese Craft Gifts**.
A refined Natsume (tea caddy) by the lacquer artist Sokei, decorated with the iconic 'Aki-no-Nanakusa' (Seven Flowers of Autumn). The delicate Makie gold work against the deep black lacquer embodies the melancholic yet beautiful spirit of the season.
**Basic Details**
- **Artist**: Sokei (Traditional lacquer master)
- **Technique**: Black lacquer (Kuro-urushi) with Autumn Grass Makie and gold accents
- **Era**: Mid to Late 20th Century (Showa Era)
- **Origin**: Japan
- **Dimensions**: approx. Diameter 7 cm, Height 7.3 cm
- **Box**: Original Signed Wooden Box (Tomobako)
- **Condition**: Excellent vintage condition with minor signs of age
**Cultural & Artistic Insight**
In Japanese aesthetics, 'Aki-no-kusa' represents the quiet resilience of beauty. This Natsume is typically used during the transition to autumn, where the golden fields and fading flowers are celebrated in the 'Wabi' tea style.
**Deep-Dive Commentary**
**Artistry**: The Makie work on this piece is exceptionally fine, with individual whiskers of grass rendered in thin gold lines. The 'Konrinsu' (Gold Wheel) style lid indicates a classical orientation toward auspicious patterns.
**Symbolism**: The autumn motifs remind practitioners of the cycles of nature. Sokei's brush captures the movement of the wind through the grasses, bringing a sense of motion to the static lacquer.
**Usage**: As a medium-sized Natsume, it is versatile for both formal and informal tea occasions. The depth of the black lacquer provides a dramatic contrast to the bright green matcha powder it holds.
*A field of golden whispers, slumbering in its wooden cocoon.*
