> Inquire about this or a similar itemThis is a sweet chest from the Taisho Period (1912–1926 CE). The front features a tin decoration of a stylized, front-facing rabbit design. This motif, known as "mukou usagi," presents a charmingly deformed representation of a rabbit viewed from the front, and its exquisite pairing with the sweet chest showcases a remarkable aesthetic sensibility. It would make a delightful addition to any tea ceremony.
While there are some areas where the lacquer has worn away, with proper care, this piece has the potential to become a treasured heirloom.
