A tall cylindrical tea caddy by Izutsu Hosai, rendered in black lacquer with delicate fringed orchid (sagiso) flowers applied in fine gold maki-e. The elongated naga form carries a quiet verticality — a shape that asks the hand to slow down before opening.
The sagiso, a wildflower of Japanese summer, is rendered here with botanical precision across the body. Each petal holds the weight of seasonal attention.
Signed tomobako reads: 鷺鳥草蒔絵 長棗 鳳斉.
