FAQs

An inro is a traditional Japanese small container for carrying items, suspended from the obi sash as part of sagemono, which translates to hanging objects worn from clothing.

Traditional pieces utilised carved wood, lacquered surfaces, leather, metal fittings, and gold leaf applications, crafted using specialised joinery and sculpting techniques.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit genuine age-related wear, traditional hand-carved details, natural patina on wood and metal, and construction methods consistent with historical Japanese craft.

These items function effectively as focal points when displayed inside glass cabinets, shadow boxes, or on dedicated display stands to highlight their intricate craftsmanship.

Items should be kept away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity to prevent wood splitting and degradation of delicate surface finishes.
