🎎 Lacquered Japanese Box with Dancing Child Motif – Late Showa Era or Newer – Japan Antique Roadshow

€20.78

This delightfully compact Japanese lacquer box captures a moment of playful innocence: a child in traditional kimono dances joyfully amid softly painted floral motifs. The exterior is finished in a vivid red lacquer, while the interior is painted in smooth, deep black. The lid is adorned with a charming hand-painted scene that blends traditional design with nostalgic whimsy—an emblem of postwar Japanese domestic artistry.

While its construction material is uncertain—possibly lightweight wood or a resin composite—its charm is unmistakable. The paintwork remains bright and intact, showing only minimal signs of wear. This piece likely dates from the late Showa era (1970s–1980s) or early Heisei period, offering a warm and familiar glimpse into Japan’s everyday aesthetic from that time.
