Utagawa Toyoharu – A Winter Party (1735-1814)

“Because of its beauty, lightness, and durability, lacquer was widely used in Japan for utensils and containers to serve food and drink. In this scene depicting a winter party are a number of red and black lacquer utensils, many of them embellished with gold maki-e (decoration of sprinkled gold or silver powder). To the right, an entertainer holding a shamisen (a stringed instrument played with a plectrum) sips sake (rice wine) from a red lacquer cup held by a wealthy person. Before him is a red lacquer tray holding a black lacquer soup cup with cover and pair of chopsticks probably made of ivory. Beside the tray is his tobacco pouch with the attached netsuke (toggle) which would suspend it from his sash.

Farther to the left is a young dandy, holding his red lacquer sake cup as he gazes transfixed at the young shamisen player who tunes her instrument. In the foreground are a red lacquer stand and tray holding lacquer and ceramic dishes and containers of food. Behind the young man is a charcoal brazier holding an iron cooking pot. The doors to the veranda are open to a wintry garden scene, a peaceful contrast to the warmth and gaeity within the house.”
