Unsigned

10.70cm wide    21.40cm high    (4.21 inches wide  8.43 inches high)

From the collection of Dr. Melvin Jahss, New York.

Good condition, apart from some fading to the ground of the cover.

A superb Japanese lacquer suzuribako (writing box), decorated on the exterior in iro-e togidashi with the scene of the Izumo lovers going for a cherry blossom viewing picnic. The interiors and rims are brilliantly decorated with wild chrysanthemums and bush clover (hagi) by a flowing stream in which one sees the subtle reflection of the moon, all in delicate gold togidashi, with a few gold-inlaid details. The moon itself is represented by the circular silver mizu-ire (water-dropper), and the inkstone is richly decorated in the vari-coloured Somada micro-mosaic of mother-of-pearl.
