SWEET CHEST, Tin decorated with front-facing rabbit design, Taisho Period(1912–1926CE)

Tax included.  |  Flat ¥1,000 shipping (Honshu only, large items excluded)


This 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.
