Inro served as portable stacked containers suspended from traditional Japanese garments to carry personal items like seals or medicines. Their compact modular sections were held together by cords and secured with a decorative toggle.

How do I care for lacquer?

Lacquer requires stable environmental conditions away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to prevent the wood base from moving and the surface from cracking. Dusting gently with a soft dry cloth maintains the finish without risking abrasion to the delicate metallic layers.

How are periods told apart?

Periods are identified through stylistic shifts, structural characteristics, and the integration of European stands or mounts seen on pieces from the seventeenth century versus later Meiji works. Early items often reflect traditional feudal aesthetics, while nineteenth-century pieces frequently balance domestic utility with international export tastes.
