Vintage Japanese Sword Stand with Gold Makie Landscape — 1950s, Showa Era
A Resting Place for the Soul of the Samurai

Infused with the poetic spirit of old Japan, this exquisite vintage katanakake (sword stand) from the 1950s is more than a simple display piece—it’s a tribute to both the blade and the beauty of the land it protected. Crafted during the Showa era, this stand is adorned with a gold lacquer landscape, delicately painted to reveal a tranquil vista of pine trees, mountain silhouettes, drifting clouds, and a distant pagoda. The scenery whispers of stillness and strength—qualities shared by both sword and warrior.

The stand's elegant curve and deep brown lacquered wood frame the scene like a painting in motion, inviting the eye to wander through the golden brushstrokes and subtle grain of the wood. Every detail, from the arching side arms to the slightly raised platform, is designed to present a katana or wakizashi with reverence and distinction. It is a rare fusion of artistry and function—ideal for collectors who value refinement, heritage, and beauty in equal measure.
