Description
Large lacquered box of the fumibako type, Japan, Meiji period (1868–1912)
Rectangular in shape and containing a removable tray. Decorated on a nashiji ground with a gold taka makie motif, brown, black and red depicting a pair of pheasants, one perched on a sinuous trunk of a cherry tree in bloom and the other perched on a rock amongst water irises near a stylised body of water. The sides feature this delicate naturalistic design, combining flowering branches, grasses and irises emerging from sinuous waves against a nashiji background. The interior, which opens onto a large removable hollow tray, and the base of the box are entirely covered in nashiji lacquer featuring a continuous swirling pattern. The design is complemented on the sides by a movable metal ring attached to a chrysanthemum-shaped disc, allowing a cord to be tied to the lid.
Signs of wear, scratches, some chips in the lacquer.
41 x 18.3 cm
