About the Item
Beautifull inro of six compartments made of black gold, silver and tin lacquer,
representing a dragon on each side, surrounded by black and silver clouds, the inside
is made of nashi-ji lacquer. This variety of color texture is obtained by mixing raw
lacquer with metallic powder. Inro sold with its ojime and netsuke, representing a
tiger with incrusted eyes, made of buffalo horn.
In Japan, the dragon (called Ryu) is a symbol of great importance and wealth for
centuries. Until the end of the Edo period, it was a theme for the elite, but with the
economic growth of the Meiji era it became widely available in Japanese culture.
