Antique Japanese Lacquer Dish, Mt. Fuji,
Birds float effortlessly over the snow capped peak of Mt. Fuji rising from golden clouds on this mingei style carved wooden dish enclosed in an ancient wooden box. Outside it is roughly carved with wide swaths cut from the block with sweeping strokes of a razor sharp chisel. At once primitive in form and yet fine in the lacquer details. The box lid is heavily worm eaten and worn with age. Likely Meiji period, the dish is 8 inches (21 cm) diameter and in fine condition.
