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.

It was signed Shigehide on the bottom with a Kao. There is a small carved rabbit ojime bead...
