About the Item

This antique kashiki candy dish features a refined design of paulownia and bamboo executed in fine gold maki-e over a deep black lacquer ground. The paulownia is associated with purity and auspicious fortune, while bamboo represents strength and resilience. Together, they create a quiet and graceful sense of energy, expressed through flowing lines and carefully controlled brushwork. The lacquer surface has been polished repeatedly to achieve a soft, deep sheen that invites touch. Its smooth and warm appearance enhances the impression of any sweets placed inside, reflecting the traditional Japanese sensibility of elevating everyday moments through beauty and craftsmanship. The piece functions both as a vessel for small treats and as an object that embodies the aesthetics of Japanese hospitality. Whether used in tea gatherings, displayed as interior décor, or collected as a work of fine lacquer, this kashiki holds both practical and artistic appeal. It is a tasteful example of the elegance and sophistication found in Japanese maki-e lacquerware.
