About the Item

This Meiji period kashiki candy dish presents a graceful and dignified presence. The rounded form is finished in two deep red lacquers arranged in a radiant pattern, accented with elegant gold maki-e paulownia leaves. The harmony of warm red tones and gold decoration creates a festive yet refined impression. The polished lacquer surface is smooth and luminous, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship associated with Meiji era lacquerware. The interior reveals a quiet, atmospheric design. Simple lines and delicate gold powder form abstract mountain ridges and drifting mist, creating a gentle landscape that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant exterior. The interplay between the bold outer design and the serene interior suggests a thoughtful sense of balance. As a traditional kashiki, the piece serves as a container for Japanese sweets and embodies the spirit of hospitality, where presentation conveys care and sincerity. Whether used in a tea gathering, displayed as part of an interior setting, or collected as a fine decorative object, this candy dish brings elegance and warmth to any environment. A fine example of practical artistry from the Meiji period, it reflects the timeless taste and beauty of Japanese lacquerware.
