Antique Japanese Lacquer Tachi Sword Stand | Maki-e Floral Motifs | Pear-Skin Ground | Edo–Meiji Decorative Arms Display

Antique Japanese Lacquer Tachi Sword Stand

A period Japanese tachi display stand in lacquer with gold maki-e floral ornament over a pear-skin ground, created to support a tachi worn edge-down in formal presentation. The decorative field balances geometric cadence with seasonal florals—peony, tachibana citrus, water narcissus, and plum—expressing prosperity, refinement, and renewal.

More than an accessory, this form belongs to the furnishing culture of the sword: objects made to honor lineage, maintain correct storage, and stage the blade with ceremony. The detachable cradle reflects practical construction and allows secure display without undue stress on the mount.

Age wear, rubbing, and lacquer thinning are consistent with long use and careful handling, reinforcing the stand’s authenticity as a period decorative implement rather than a modern imitation.

An elegant display object for collectors of samurai heritage, Japanese lacquer arts, and curated interior design.

A Note on Stewardship and Collecting

At Japonista, we approach Buddhist statues, sacred images, and ritual objects not merely as collectibles, but as cultural and spiritual artifacts deserving of respect, understanding, and careful presentation. Every piece we offer is thoughtfully examined, researched, and curated with sensitivity to its origin, meaning, and historical role.

Our role is not only to offer access to rare and meaningful objects, but to serve as responsible custodians—connecting the right works with collectors who value depth, intention, and authenticity.

Some of the cultural and heritage works may allow room for discussion, while others are held firmly due to rarity, condition, or cultural importance. All inquiries are reviewed personally and discreetly, and we welcome thoughtful questions or expressions of interest.
