Lacquered wood toilet box - Japan, 19th century.

A Japanese four-case lacquer inro by a member of Kajikawa family circa 19th century (late Edo to early Meiji period).

The stream was set between the slightly elevated banks, adding to this piece a already strong three-dimensional composition. The interior was decorated in gold nashiji. It was signed on the bottom "Kajikawa Zou" (made by Kajikawa and a pot seal centered with "Ei" in Kanji. In one of the compartment, there is a katakana mark, appears to be a name, possibly the owner.
