Painted in gold, rose-pink, and vermilion on a deep black ground. Interior in silver. By Chikujo Chikuryo. Presented in its original tomobako.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hana-ikada — flower raft — is one of the defining motifs of Japanese seasonal poetry: the moment when fallen cherry petals gather on the surface of a river and are carried away together, forming a raft of blossoms. It is a motif of beauty that acknowledges impermanence without mourning it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChikujo Chikuryo brings the full range of urushi makie technique to this small object. The black lacquer ground absorbs light; the gold makie traces water currents with a line that is simultaneously precise and fluid. The golden plank (ikada-ita) dominates the lid, its texture worked in relief. Maple leaves in matte gold anchor the autumn side of the composition, while rose-tinted cherry blossoms drift across the spring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe interior silver ground — a refinement typical of Kyoto makie work — transforms the act of opening the caddy into an event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight approx. 5.8 cm, diameter approx. 8 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e---\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【花筏蒔絵棗 筑城筑良作】\u003cbr\u003e黒漆地に花筏文を金・桃・朱の多色蒔絵で描いた棗。内側銀地。筑城筑良作、共箱付き。\u003cbr\u003e高さ約5.8cm、径約8cm。桜と紅葉が流水に散る華やかな意匠。\u003cbr\u003e蓋面には金の筏板が際立ち、春と秋を一器に収めた格調ある作品です。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ SHIPPING \u0026amp; PACKAGING ]\u003cbr\u003e• Dispatch: Within 1-6 business days\u003cbr\u003e• Carrier: Japan Post EMS \/ UPS (with tracking)\u003cbr\u003e• Packaging: Carefully wrapped with protective materials","brand":"The Modern Zen Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61649496441202,"sku":"260307_a_2392","price":1166.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m27601791858_1.jpg?v=1773129248","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/hana-ikada-makie-natsume-by-chikujo-chikuryo-flower-raft-lacquer-tea-caddy-silver-interior","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
