A Very Fine Takamaki-e Lacquer Cheroot Case in the Manner of Shibata Zeshin
By Shibata Zeshin
Located in Ottawa, Ontario
The 'ishime' lacquered case consisting of two conforming molded sections with one sliding overtop the other, both sides decorated with hand painted gilt, silver & burnt dark russet (kasshoku) lacquers, depicting motifs in low relief of a rat with an acorn on one side and two acorns on the opposing.

Please note that the color tones & hues of the lacquered motifs appear somewhat more vibrant in the images due to ambient lighting conditions.
Regarding the opinion stating the superior quality of this fine example being likened to works associated with those by Shibata...
