Description: Rare Edo Period Lacquered Brush Holder - Created in the 12th Year of the Tenpō Era (1841) SIZE Height: 13.7cm Diameter: 10.3cm Caliber: 8.7cm Weight: 245g This exquisite brush holder, crafted in the 12th year of the Tenpō era (1841), is a rare find from Japan’s Edo period, made from natural lacquer. Serving as a holder for brushes in calligraphy, it reflects the traditional Japanese craftsmanship and the artistry of the time. Such pieces were often used in the study of calligraphy, where the brushes ("fude" or pens) would be carefully stored, showcasing both functionality and aesthetic beauty. Historical Details: According to the inscriptions, this work was created when the artist was 46 years old, though the name inscribed on the base is unfortunately undecipherable. The inscription adds a layer of authenticity and historical value, connecting it to the early 19th century. Craftsmanship and Materials: The brush holder is skillfully crafted with layers of natural lacquer, giving it a deep, rich hue and a smooth, polished finish. The design features ridges around the body, which not only add to its visual appeal but also provide a practical grip. The base shows signs of age-appropriate wear, further affirming its antique nature and adding to its charm. Provenance and Documentation: As of now, there is limited documentation directly associated with this specific piece in historical or museum records. However, similar lacquered calligraphy accessories from the Edo period can be found in collections of Japanese art, reflecting the cultural importance of calligraphy tools during this era. This brush holder is a remarkable piece of Japanese history, suitable for collectors of fine antiques or enthusiasts of traditional Japanese art and craftsmanship. Condition: There are areas where the lacquer is peeling. This item shows wear consistent with its age, including minor lacquer loss on the surface. Please review photos carefully to appreciate its condition and craftsmanship. Ohter Items If you are purchasing more than one item, we will adjust the shipping cost.
