This is a traditional Japanese Aizu lacquerware set consisting of a writing box and a suzuribako (inkstone box). The deep black lacquer surface is beautifully decorated with intricate gold maki-e depicting an elegant imperial garden scene, reflecting the refined aesthetics of Japanese culture. The writing box features a built-in music box that plays when opened and includes an address book, combining both functionality and decorative appeal. The suzuribako has compartmentalized storage, suitable for small items or calligraphy tools. This set was likely produced as a high-quality gift item and is also suitable for collectors. The music box measures approximately 12 cm (height) × 20 cm (width) × 6 cm (depth). The outer box measures approximately 32 cm (height) × 24 cm (width) × 8 cm (depth). The weight of the music box itself is approximately 598 g. The total weight including the box is approximately 1364 g. There are minor signs of storage wear, but overall it remains in good condition.
