Description

As part of our Japanese art collection we are delighted to offer this super quality and most unusual Gold lacquer three cased Inro , the delightful Inro is finely decorated within two silver framed cartouches, the front panel depicts a Shibayama decorated boy sat looking at a scroll painting, he appears startled by the bird coming to life on the scroll, and so flings his fan into the air !! The panel verso is very unusual as it consists of three tied mother of pearl simulated Bamboos sticks tied to suit a floral display, the flowers are made up of the usual hardstones as well as cloisonné enamel , the outer border is decorated in fine Nashi ground lacquer , this large Inro is tied with its original silk cord and is held together with a carved lacquer Ojime bead, the interior houses an old collectors label .

The condition of the Inro is great with minimal age related wear, no damage or losses !!
