The \u003cstrong\u003eNakaya Chushu Kitsune\u003c\/strong\u003e (中秋狐, \"Mid-Autumn Fox\") brings together two of Japan's most evocative traditions — the melancholy beauty of the harvest moon and the enigmatic presence of the fox — rendered in Nakaya's finest maki-e lacquer artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgainst a deep, lustrous urushi ground, a fox moves through an autumn night scene: moonlight filters through foliage, the air is still, and the world is rendered in gold powder and colored lacquer with extraordinary precision. The layered maki-e technique builds depth and a subtle luminosity beneath the surface, so that the scene seems to glow from within rather than simply sit upon it. Every viewing angle offers a slightly different play of light across the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Fox in Japanese Culture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Japanese tradition, the fox (kitsune) is a creature of intelligence, mystery, and spiritual power — qualities that feel especially charged beneath the full moon of mid-autumn. The Chushu Kitsune channels this symbolism into an object of quiet, contemplative beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Nakaya, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheme: Chushu Kitsune (中秋狐) — Mid-Autumn Fox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnique: Traditional maki-e — gold powder and colored urushi lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Dark urushi over ebonite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: 14K gold (Nakaya)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chushu Kitsune is a deeply poetic piece — one for collectors who appreciate the storytelling potential of Japanese lacquer art as much as the writing experience itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakaya","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":40900460314753,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/2960\/5761\/files\/d3a8fcd4-8ff2-45a8-835d-93f19fafe6ca.png?v=1788493169","url":"https:\/\/izumipen.com\/products\/nakaya-maki-e-chushu-kitsune-mid-autumn-fox","provider":"IZUMIPEN LIMITED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
