伝統的な漆芸技法「沈金」によって、鱗や尾びれの細部まで金彩が施された本作は、単なる装飾品を超え、空間に物語を生み出す芸術作品です。
鯛は古来より「めでたい魚」として祝いの場に用いられ、特にこのサイズは希少で、儀式・飾り・贈答のいずれにも格調を添えます。

A commanding presence—this Chinkin Tai (gold-inlaid sea bream) stretches an extraordinary 72 cm in length.
Crafted using the traditional Japanese lacquer technique chinkin, each scale and fin is delicately engraved and gilded, creating a shimmering surface that captures both light and admiration.
The sea bream (tai) has long symbolized celebration and good fortune in Japan, and in this rare, large format, it becomes not just a decorative piece but a ceremonial centerpiece.
Resting on a vermilion lacquered stand adorned with wave motifs, the composition evokes both vitality and elegance.
