About the Item
Inrō with four gold lacquer compartments, decorated with a lake landscape. Accompanied by a bronze ryusa manju.
Small boxes formed of compartments that fit one on top of the other, inrō (印 籠) are traditional Japanese clothing items. Since the kimono had no pockets, everyday objects were carried in small boxes (sagemono) hung on the belt (obi). To prevent them from slipping, a netsuke, a small wooden or ivory figurine, was used to hold the cord of the inrō or other types of sagemono. The inrō are often decorated with harmonious scenery and scenes inspired by the flora and fauna. Japanese artists play with materials and shapes with precision and thoroughness comparable to goldsmithing.
Representation of lake landscapes bordered by mountains is frequent : Japan is an island country, but also mountainous. Very steep, located in the center of each island, the mountains partition Japanese landscapes. Most regions have their own symbolic and revered mountain, and climbing the mountains is like a pilgrimage. It is thus usual to represent mountains giving way to small plains where the inhabitants dispute the ground with the rice fields and the lakes.

Antique Japanese Inro by Shigehide Edo Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
This exquisite four-case lacquered inro was dated to the latter part of 18th century to early 19th century (Edo period) and made by Shigehide. The opposite sides of the inro together features a lavish flower arrangement in a bamboo basket (ikebana). The detailed craftmanship was a true pleasure to behold. Mostly Takamaki-e (high relief) were used to texturize the delicate petals of the chrysanthemums, on which different shades of gold were used to create contrast. Raden (mother of pearl) shells were also used to highlight some leaves, rendering the piece an interesting balance of color and material. The interior was completed in a mottled gold finish. It was signed Shigehide on the bottom with a Kao. There is a small carved rabbit ojime bead...
