A finely-decorated Japanese lacquer shell game box and stand, Kaioke, Edo period, 18th/19th century

Item Details

Description

A finely-decorated Japanese lacquer shell game box and stand, Kaioke, Edo period, 18th/19th century 日本漆器盒子及架子江戶十八或十九世紀

The octagonal box finely decorated with prunus and pine seedlings by a stream, embellished with kiku and kiri mon crests, the interior lined with gold and beige silk brocade in a lotus-scroll pattern. H: 18 in.
Provenance
Acquired in New York by the present owner, circa 2009

Literature
The present box would have been part of a larger bridal trousseau of an important member of Edo society, including shodana, cosmetic boxes and assorted cases, incense game items, basins, and writing objects. The variants of the circular chrysanthemum and paulownia crests displayed on the box suggest a union of a member of the Imperial family and the Toyotomi family, and this box would have originally been paired with another box to contain the painted clam shells for the shell matching game. For a pair of boxes and stands of similar form, dated 18th/19th century, see Yoshiaki Shimizu, "Japan, The Shaping of Daimyo Culture, 1185-1868", Kyoto 1988, pp. 298-299, no 235, where the author notes the matching game was symbolic of a successful marriage, and "the shell matching set was regarded as one of the most important items in a daimyo bridal trousseau."
