About the Item

An exquisite small Japanese maki-e lacquer stacking box for incense and accessories, ju-kobako, late Edo or early Meiji Period, mid 19th century, Japan. Crafted in maki-e lacquer and formed as a miniature jubako, the stacking box is comprised of three tiered sections, and includes one tray, a lid, and another cover formed as a tall stand that fits over the stacked boxes. Silk cords attached to silver mounts on the bottom tier secure the box when tied together. The outer cover of the box is in the shape of a tall display or incense stand with four elegant legs set on ruyi shaped feet. A water scene featuring a traditional covered river boat navigates an open, marshy body of water depicted through a geometric wave design. Large clumps of arrowhead plants, omodaka, with their distinctive three leaves shaped like arrowheads, dot the shore. A large heron in raised silver taka-maki-e flies overhead. The wave and omodaka motif is carried to the stack of boxes as well, decorating the sides in a pleasing asymmetrical pattern, matching up to the design on the legs of the table. The interiors, undersides, and tray all decorated in a lush nashiji.
