Japanese lacquerware is increasingly scarce—its techniques are time-intensive, materials costly, and few artisans remain active—making named 20th-century masters especially collectible. The lacquer box is crafted from urushi on wood, while its signed tomobako storage box is made of paulownia (kiri), the traditional Japanese choice for protecting fine art. with its original signed tomobako affirming authenticity and provenance, and with Yamamura’s works carried by renowned houses such as Christie’s and Maak Contemporary Ceramics, this piece is well positioned for long-term appreciation among Japanese, European, and US collectors.

The outer box measures: 116 × 9 × 108 cm This piece has an attribution mark,
