Masterwork **Spring Autumn Natsume** by **Takasaki Shuho**. This unique **Japanese Tea Caddy** features **Washi Paper Texture** with **Spring and Autumn Makie**, ideal for **All-Season Ceremony**. Including its **Signed Tomobako**, it is a **Luxury Lacquer Art** piece for **Zen Home Decor** and **Fine Japanese Gift** for **Craft Collectors**.
A highly artistic Natsume (tea caddy) by the master Takasaki Shuho. This piece utilizes the rare 'Washi-bari' (paper-application) technique, where textured Japanese paper is applied to the wood core before lacquering, creating a surface of unparalleled depth and character.
**Basic Details**
- **Artist**: Takasaki Shuho (Master lacquer artist)
- **Technique**: Washi-bari (paper applied) lacquer with seasonal flows of gold/silver Makie
- **Era**: Late 20th Century (Heisei Era)
- **Origin**: Japan
- **Dimensions**: approx. 7.3 cm wide, 7.3 cm high
- **Box**: Original Signed Wooden Box (Tomobako)
- **Condition**: Near-mint used condition
**Cultural & Artistic Insight**
The 'Shunju-Nagare' (Flow of Spring and Autumn) motif is designed for year-round use. It depicts cherry blossoms and maple leaves intertwined in a celestial flow, representing the continuity of nature and the cycle of the seasons.
**Deep-Dive Commentary**
**Artistry**: The use of Washi paper under the lacquer provides a subtle 'grain' that catches the light differently than smooth lacquer. Takasaki Shuho is one of the few masters who effectively combined this texture with high-grade hand-painted Makie.
**Symbolism**: Cherry blossoms (Sakura) and Maple (Momiji) are the two pillars of Japanese seasonal beauty. Having both on one vessel makes it a versatile and auspicious tool for any host.
**Usage**: The 'Chu-natsume' size is consistent and comfortable. The tactile experience of the Washi texture is a subtle surprise for the guest during the 'Ha-iken' (inspection) phase of the tea ceremony.
*Two seasons, dancing in a river of gold, held fast in the heart of paper and wood.*
