Rare Japanese Meiji (19thc) Ryukyu Islands Lacquer Keepsake Box
Status:This item has been sold Sold by:Antik Dragon Japanese & Other Fine Art
Beautiful Japanese Meiji (19thC) Ryukyu Islands black lacquer keepsake box decorated with a high relief mother-of-pearl grasshopper. This lovely lacquer box is accented by the use of real ‘painted bamboo’, which has been incorporated on the top of the lid and all four sides of the box. Different hues of inlaid mother-of-pearl and raised outlines detailing the body of the grasshopper, give this motif a three-dimensional appearance, called tsuishu, or lacquerware with raised designs, and demonstrate the innovation of Ryukyu Shikki artisans. Measures 12cm (4.75in) x 10cm (4in) x 3.5cm (1 3/8in).
Excellent condition with no damage or repairs. A charming little box.
