Fine Japanese Lacquer Incense Box, Kobako, 18thc.

Item Details

Description

Fine Double Lozenge shaped Japanese Lacquer Incense Box (kobako), probably 18th century in date, is an exquisite example of Japanese lacquer artistry. The shape is a double-lozenge; a single tray is inside the box. The top of the lid is decorated with a bonzai planter on one side and dragons and rabbits in a tortoise shell grid pattern on the other side. Poses of the rabbit vary within the allover pattern. The exterior surface of the box features a village landscape by a stream with a pagoda perched on a nearby mountain. Pine, willow and plum accent the mountain landscape. All the motifs are created with gold and silver in relief set against a black lacquer ground. The interior of the lid continues the lakeside imagery with a flock of geese and pair of ducks. The water's ripple pattern forms a consistent band across the surface. The lacquer box sits on a wooden box of the same shape that serves as a base and additional storage space. A painting of trees by water is freely brushed on the base. The incense box and wrapper comes with a tomobako .

Dimensions: L. 8 " H.5 1/2"

Condition

Very light wear to top from handling and use. Some wear to gold lacquer to edges of underside of cover. Light wear to base. Very good antique condition.
