A natsume (tea caddy) with a rounded top and tapering sides, the turned-wood body finished in gold lacquer and decorated on the top and sides in gold takamaki-e (sprinkled powder in high relief) with decor on one side of Chrysanthemum and paulownia on black and on the other side of bambo and stylized pine on gold lacquer; the interiors and base with gold nashiji flakes.
Comes with the original fitted paulownia-wood tomobako storage box inscribed outside in ink "Gold Lacquer Tea Caddy with Pine, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, and Paulownia [Decor]", signed Kōsen saku (Made by Kōsen), and sealed Kōsen; also with a tomogire silk wrapping cloth sealed Ōshita Kōsen.
Founded in 1894, the Ōshita Kōsen dynasty of experts in the maki-e technique of sprinkled gold powder decoration on lacquer originally specialized in tea caddies and other wares for chanoyu (the “tea ceremony”). The fourth head of the family and the maker of this work started training under his father in 1973 and ten years later began to receive local awards for his works. He has exhibited widely in Ishikawa Prefecture, Tokyo, and Taipei.
