About the Item
This hand-warming hibachi fire bowl is finished in black lacquer, adorned with gold maki-e depicting paulownia leaves and slender bamboo intertwining in graceful harmony. The flowing lines and layered composition evoke refinement and dignity. Its deep black lacquer surface gleams like a mirror, setting off the brilliance of the gold decoration and embodying the quintessential elegance of Japanese lacquer art.
The hibachi fire bowl, originally a traditional Japanese vessel for heating and tea preparation, balances utility with artistry. Paulownia, a symbol of prosperity, and bamboo, representing longevity and resilience, combine to convey auspicious meaning. Executed in the meticulous Saga maki-e technique, gold powder is delicately applied, with the lacquer polished repeatedly to achieve a soft yet profound luster. Weighing 2.8 kilograms, the piece is solid and well-preserved, accompanied by its original storage box. More than a functional object, it is a work of art that embodies the spirit of craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of lacquer culture.
As an Showa-period piece, signs of use remain. The inside and the bottom of the bronze bowl have visible patina and discoloration as it was made for holding burning charcoals.
Please see the photographs and video for careful consideration.
