Antique Japanese Vermilion Hexagonal Lacquer Box Gold Maki-e Floral Motif Itomasu with a fitted lift-off lidAn exceptional example of Japanese lacquer artistry, this hexagonal legged box features a brilliant vermilion (shu urushi) ground adorned with an elegant maki e design of botan (peony) and susuki (autumn grasses) in raised gold and fine hiramaki e detailing.
