About the Item
Presentation Tebako box from the Japanese Meiji period (1868-1912).
Beautiful decorative presentation Tebako box from the Japanese Imperial Meiji period, circa 1880. This box has been meticulously crafted in a squared cushioned shape in wood with kara coating Kobayashi red lacquer, gilding, black lacquer and inlaid decorations of abalone shell, Raden. Tebako literally means "portable box", it is a toilet box containing the objects necessary for washing and make-up, especially blush mirror and little boxes. This is a great decorative box, actually to be used for any purpose and with great eye appeal.
Tsugaru Nuri Lacquer in The Kara Nuri Style
Tsugaru lacquerware originated in the Edo period (1603-1868), when the lord of the Hirosaki Domain (now part of Aomori Prefecture) invited a lacquer artisan from Wakasa Province (now Fukui Prefecture). In the Meiji period (1868-1912), Tsugaru lacquerware grew into a major local industry after the establishment of a lacquerware factory and a cooperative association. Tsugaru lacquerware gained worldwide recognition after it was exhibited at the Vienna World Exposition in 1873.
Raden
This is a Japanese decorative technique used for lacquerware and woodenware, in which linings of mother-of-pearl or of abalone shells are cut into designs and either glued onto or inserted into the surface of the lacquer or wood. There are several varieties of Raden lacquerware.
The Meiji Imperial Period
This is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912.The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic ideas. As a result of such wholesale adoption of radically different ideas, the changes to Japan were profound, and affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded to the reign of Emperor Meiji. It was preceded by the Keiō era and was succeeded by the Taishō era, upon the accession of Emperor Taishō.
