Japanese Iron Lidded Box - Kajima Ikkoku II

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this unusual Meiji Period (1868-1912) iron and mixed metal box by arguably the most coveted of the nunomezogan specialist studios of the late 19th century, Kajima Ikkoku, a family business spanning four generations. This fan shaped iron box is finely decorated to the lid with a plump little sparrow sat on a branch feeding upon the berries, the delightful subject matter crafted in mixed soft alloys including gold, silver and bronze, the exterior of the box is finely decorated in gold nunomezogan upon a plain iron ground, the unusual subject matter consists of a praying mantis aside bamboo and berries to one end, a butterfly in flight amidst flora to the other and most unusually a pair of crabs crawling upon ferns to the rear elevation. The front concave section bears the rather lavish gold signature that translates to Ikkokusai Mitsuyuki, lifting the lid reveals a sumptuos gilt lined interior. A lovely fan shaped box that will bring much joy as well as additional value to your Japanese metalwork collection.

Literature : 

Kajima Ikkoku II was originally known as Mitsutaka, until the death of his father in 1882, when he inherited the name Kajima Ikkokusai, a Tokyo artist specialising in nunomezogan in his own right as well as his work being recorded as commissions for other famous Tokyo companies such as Tekkodo.

European collection.
