This lot features a Japanese portable writing set (矢立 / Yatate) dating to the Edo period (17th–18th century). Yatate were essential personal writing tools carried by samurai, merchants, and scholars, consisting of a small ink container and an attached brush. The ink container is made of copper alloy and displays engraved decoration with a naturally developed patina from prolonged use. The attached brush is formed from bamboo and wood, secured with a textile cord, reflecting traditional construction methods. Such writing sets were designed for practicality and portability, allowing users to write notes, records, or correspondence while traveling. Over time, yatate have become highly collectible as examples of Japanese daily life objects and scholar’s tools from the Edo period. This example retains its original components and shows honest wear consistent with age, making it a genuine and evocative artifact of pre-modern Japanese culture.
