EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two rare large square tokkuri from the Momoyama Period in late 16th century Japan. These exquisite vessels, standing at a height of 30 cm, are adorned with intricate lacquer work that reflects the artistic brilliance of the time. The tokkuri are decorated using gold hiramakie technique and inlaid with aogai on a roironuri ground. Each side features beautifully shaped panels depicting tachibana, asagao, wisteria, and grape vines bordered by wide aogai bands. The shoulders of these remarkable pieces display aquatic plants while pewter mounts add an extra touch of elegance. These tokkuri were traditionally used for serving sake, making them not only visually stunning but also functional objects. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail make this pair truly exceptional. The combination of floral patterns, ornate designs, and rich colors creates a mesmerizing visual feast for art enthusiasts. The golden hues stand out against the lacquered background, adding an air of opulence to these vessels. This print captures the essence of Japanese artistry during the Momoyama Period and serves as a testament to the skillful hands that created such masterpieces centuries ago. It is indeed a treasure worth cherishing in any private collection or museum exhibition.
