This "tsugaru-nuri" lacquered flower stand is the signature of lacquer-ware from the Tsugaru district of Aomori Prefecture, in the northern part of the main island of Honshu in Japan. Layers of lacquer create a polychrome pattern, and is a style unique to this district that dates from the Edo Period. Rather than spreading the lacquer on as is the convention, Tsugaru craftsman pat the lacquer on with a spatula, thereby creating different patterns and textures. The layers of lacquer are then burnished down to produce the characteristic mottled patterning. c.1930. (19½" x 12") (49cm x 30cm)

A Beautiful Block of prized zelkova "keyaki" wood carved into a Go board. The white Go stones are made of shell while the black stones are carved out of Japanese "natchi-kuro" stone and sanded to a fine polish. Both white and black stone Go pieces come in exquisite keyaki go-ishi wood containers shining with a worn patina of the ages. The ultimate wabi-sabi mingei look. A few Edo stains on the surface but these only enhance the piece. c.1860. (16½" x 17" x 8") (42cm x 43cm x 21cm). Heavy item.
