This stunning Suzuribako (Japanese calligraphy box) showcases exceptional craftsmanship and elegance, featuring a high-relief lacquer decoration of a rooster and hen. Executed with top-tier precision in gold, silver, and multi-colored lacquer, the imagery radiates vibrance and detail, bringing the scene to life. The rich black lacquer base is accented with shimmering flecks, enhancing the luxurious, speckled finish.

The interior is equally captivating—lavishly adorned with intricate gold maki-e floral motifs, a removable inkstone and metal water dropper, making it both a functional and artistic treasure. The reverse side of the lid and the box’s base are also adorned with ornate lacquer work, reflecting meticulous attention to detail from every angle.
