About the Item

Jewelry box Japan 1890/1900 decorated with a hundred Menukis in embossed brass and inlays measuring height 33 x 33 x 15 cm. Menukis are ornamental pieces decorating the tsuka (handle) of a katana (Japanese sword). Most often these elements are made of cast metal and represent animals or symbols associated with traditional Japanese beliefs. the box is not in very good condition but the interest lies in the number of menukis it sports. Additional information: Material: rosewood.

Japanese Lacquered Tebako 'Box'
Located in PARIS, FR
Tebako box with three compartments in golden and nashi-ji lacquer, decorated with golden, red, and kirigane lacquer, golden persimmon tree leaves, among rocks.

It is therefore in Japan a symbol of strength and longevity. It is also the national fruit of the country. It is eaten as a traditional dish during New Year's Day celebrations. Tebako literally means "portable box...
