About the Item

An elegant and finely crafted Japanese Komai-style damascene cigarette or card case, dating from the early 20th century (circa 1900–1940), featuring stunning 24‑karat gold and silver wire inlay against a rich black-lacquered steel base. The front and back showcase a meticulously rendered Mount Fuji tableau: a torii gate, pagoda, rolling hills, lake, and village scene—all brought to life with delicate gold and silver damascene. The artisan has expertly hammered and polished each metallic wire into shallow engraved grooves, creating vibrant, detailed landscapes that shimmer against the dark matte lacquer Dimensions- Size: 15.5 x 8 x 0.7 cm Weight: 148 grams Condition: Vibrant gold and silver inlays; minor surface wear and light tarnishing consistent with age. No significant damage or repairs.
