Type: Fuchi Material: Copper Period: Edo (18th–19th century) Mass: 24.9 g
This fuchi features a deeply chiseled surface imitating the texture of tree bark, a motif symbolizing strength, endurance, and harmony with nature. The texture has been worked by hand with an irregular chisel pattern, giving the surface a distinctly organic appearance and an appealing depth of relief.
The piece appears to have subtle remnants of gilding along the upper surface.
