This is an Edo period inkstone box adorned with taiko studs. It is an extremely rare type of inkstone box with an abacus. The top part opens upwards and has a drawer. The front features four drawers, each of a different size. The smallest drawer on the upper left contains an abacus. While inkstone boxes of this type are occasionally seen, it is very unusual to find one with an abacus. There is a keyhole on the upper right side. Although a key is included, it does not turn when inserted into the keyhole, making it purely decorative. Considering its age from the Edo period, the overall condition is not bad. In fact, it exudes a very charming atmosphere. It will undoubtedly shine in your home. Please consider purchasing it at this opportunity.
