【Product details】
Delve into the rich cultural tapestry of Japan with this exquisite Suzuribako (ink stone box), originating from the late Edo to Meiji period. It includes an ink stone and a water dropper essential for traditional Japanese calligraphy.
The box is crafted with a "Nashiji" finish, a pear-skin ground that gives it a distinctive texture and subtle luster, reminiscent of its storied past. The lid proudly displays a high-relief "Takamakie" depiction of a woman clothed in a "Jūnihitoe," an opulent twelve-layer robe once worn by noblewomen, indicating the high status of this piece. The scene is set against the Nashiji background and is adorned with radiant mother-of-pearl inlay, further accentuating the delicate beauty of the design.
The inside of the lid is equally impressive, featuring Nashiji and a floral motif in Makie, a traditional Japanese lacquer sprinkled with gold or silver powder.
Please note, the patina of time is evident in this historical piece. It bears signs of wear, such as scratches, stains, peeling of inlay and a sense of antiquity that you might expect from an object of this age. The ink stone have hardened ink residue inside. We encourage you to refer to the photos provided for a detailed view of its condition.
Dimensions: approx. H 21 cm W 23.5 cm D 4 cm
