Description

 

This fish-shaped small container with gold decoration is from Hataman Touen of Imari Nabeshima Ware. Imari Nabeshima ware has long been appreciated as a "Hare (special day)" vessel because of its opulence and beauty.

Carp has long been loved as a lucky fish in Japan. Every year on May 5, we celebrate "Tango-no Sekku," an occasion honoring the growth of children, and the decoration of "Koinobori" (carp streamer), large pieces of cloth painted in the shape of carp, are hung high outdoors and appear to swim in the wind, a well-known traditional sight in Japan.

This is originally made as small containers to hold incense, they were mainly used in tea rooms for scenting and welcoming guests. In addition, they come in a variety of shapes and are popular for appreciation, and the lidded box allows them to be used in many other ways.

It can be displayed as an interior decoration, or used to hold accessories or small snacks. For example, you can display it on celadon plates and lacquered stands, or put appetizers or chocolates in it to lift your spirits.

The shape is unique and three-dimensional, and the traditional Japanese design of "Seigaiha" (wave crest) pattern is stylishly depicted on it. Each piece is carefully painted by the craftsmen of Hataman Touen, who have inherited the exquisite techniques of Nabeshima ware. Even the tip of the tail is painted with care. This blue carp also has a refreshing feel to it, giving the impression of swimming in the ocean, the most natural of the three colored carps.

The container comes with a sophisticated black box with Hataman logo that is a perfect gift for those who have a passion for interior design and culinary delights.
