Kuroda Tatsuaki was designated a ‘Living National Treasure’ for woodwork in 1970. He is also an important lacquer artist in Japan particularly known for his mother-of-pearl inlay technique. In 1968, Kuroda received an imperial commission to design seating furniture for the new audience room in the Tokyo Imperial Palace. In 1976, he was nominated as the Person of Cultural Merit.
Compare a similar tea caddy also by Kuroda in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (inv. no. FE.1-1978).
黑田辰秋在1970年因木工被尊稱為「人間國寶」，是日本重要的螺鈿漆藝大師。1968年，黑田受邀為皇居新宮殿定製座椅。1976年被賦予「文化功勞者」稱號。
