A RARE LACQUER KOBAKO WITH AUTUMNAL FLOWERS

Item Details

Description

A FINE AND RARE LACQUER YABUMI-FORM KOBAKO AND COVER WITH AUTUMNAL FLOWERS
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The overlapping cover rendered with thin folds representing a yabumi (arrow letter), the roiro ground finely decorated in silver and gold hiramaki-e and gold e-nashiji and togidashi-e with asagao (morning glory), ominaeshi (valerian), fujibakama (thoroughwort), kikyo (Chinese bellflowers), and susuki (miscanthus). The interior and underside with nashiji, the interior further with gold fundame edges.

LENGTH 13.3 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, the interior edges of the cover with two minuscule and faint age cracks.
Provenance: English private collection, acquired mainly during the 1960s and 1970s.

In feudal Japan, messages were sometimes sent by tying a letter to an arrow and shooting the arrow to the intended recipient. Such letters were known as yabumi (lit. 'arrow text'). A woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu (d. 1770), titled Love-letter Arrow and depicting a man about to send off a yabumi, is in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum (accession number A-10569-112).

The yabumi shape is very rarely seen in lacquer art.
