Accessoire-doos ‘De Anna Paulowna-boom’
The angular shapes of the branches and leaves are characteristic of the Art Deco style. In the flowers, the artist experimented with the colour white, which was nearly impossible to produce in lacquer until the late 1930s. In 1923 Tokyo was hit by a catastrophic earthquake, and everything had to be rebuilt. In these years Art Deco became popular in design and architecture.
