The silver sasa floats on the warm reddish-brown ground with a quietness that only comes from work that does not announce itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe box inscription by Horiuchi Sokan is not peripheral documentation — it is an act of placement: this object enters the lineage of Omotesenke's considered taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[ DETAILS ]\u003cbr\u003e• Type: Natsume (tea caddy), oo-natsume (large)\u003cbr\u003e• Decoration: Silver sasa (bamboo leaf) maki-e on tame-nuri (amber-lacquer) ground\u003cbr\u003e• Authentication: Box inscription by 堀内宗完 (Horiuchi Sokan), Omotesenke school\u003cbr\u003e• Interior: Red signature mark on lid interior\u003cbr\u003e• Provenance: Signed storage box included\u003cbr\u003e• Dimensions: Height approx. 7.4 cm, diameter approx. 7.3 cm\u003cbr\u003e• Condition: Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[ CULTURAL INSIGHT ]\u003cbr\u003eIn the Omotesenke tradition, a kakitsuke (box inscription) by a grand master is not a certificate issued to validate quality. It is an act of taste — a declaration that the object belongs in the tea room. Horiuchi Sokan's name on this box places the natsume in the company of objects that have passed through considered hands and been found worthy of use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[ DEEP DIVE ]\u003cbr\u003eTame-nuri, the translucent reddish-brown lacquer technique, allows the warmth of the wood substrate to participate in the surface color — the object is not covered but revealed. Silver sasa against this ground is a studied pairing: where gold would assert, silver recedes slightly, asks the eye to approach. The bamboo leaf motif in tea carries connotations of resilience and winter — a choice for the colder seasons of the tea calendar when restraint becomes ornament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003e【堀内宗完書付 笹銀蒔絵 大棗 茶道具】\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e溜塗地に銀笹文の大棗。表千家堀内宗完による書付箱付き。沈んだ茶色の地に浮かぶ銀笹が、静かな存在感を持つ。\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\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":61687513284978,"sku":"260318_a_2528","price":1703.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m95633672976_1.jpg?v=1774106123","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/horiuchi-sokan-certified-natsume-silver-sasa-maki-e-tame-nuri","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
