Experience the beauty of Japan’s traditional craftsmanship with this exquisite Wajima lacquerware display stand.

These iconic figures are famously depicted on the interior walls of the stone chamber of the Takamatsuzuka Tomb in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture.

Designed as a decorative stand for a tokonoma alcove, it can also be used as a pedestal for displaying incense burners, flower vases, and other cherished objects.
