BK11 - Vintage Japan Book lacquerware 古漆器
A beautifully curated issue of 「小さな蕾」 (Chiisana Tsubomi), a respected Japanese monthly magazine dedicated to antiques and traditional arts. This particular volume (No.557, December 2014) focuses on the refined world of 古漆器 (antique lacquerware), offering an in-depth look into the beauty, craftsmanship, and history of Japanese lacquer traditions.
Richly illustrated throughout, the magazine presents a variety of lacquer objects—from Edo-period boxes and containers to delicately decorated bowls and utensils—highlighting the distinctive deep black and vermilion tones, intricate maki-e (蒔絵) designs, and the natural patina that comes with age. The featured pieces, including works from notable collections such as the 杜の美術館 (Mori no Bijutsukan), reflect both everyday utility and artistic excellence.
In addition to lacquerware, the issue also touches on broader antique themes, including references to treasures from the 故宮博物院 (Palace Museum) and other curated features, making it a well-rounded volume for collectors and enthusiasts.
Printed in high-quality color with detailed Japanese text, this issue is both visually engaging and informative—ideal for those interested in Japanese antiques, lacquer craftsmanship, or wabi-sabi aesthetics.
