Description from the seller

Antique Edo Period 5-Case Black Lacquer Inro with Gold Makie - Dragon, Crane & Mt. Fuji (Japan)

Description

Welcome to LastPiece-TimeTravel-Japan. We are honored to present this exquisite piece of traditional Japanese history to collectors worldwide.

[Product Overview: A Masterpiece of Edo Craftsmanship]
Up for auction is a beautiful Antique 5-Case Inro (traditional Japanese medicine case), likely dating back to the Edo period.
This piece features stunning black lacquer (Urushi) adorned with intricate gold Makie (sprinkled gold powder) decorations. The true charm of this piece lies in the quiet elegance of its composition: the dynamic energy of the ascending Dragon paired with the eternal stillness of Mt. Fuji. This classic contrast evokes a deep sense of traditional Japanese aesthetics and reverence for nature. A graceful Crane, a symbol of longevity, completes this profoundly auspicious scenery.

[Measurements]

Width: Approx. 6.0 cm (2.36 inches)

Height: Approx. 8.2 cm (3.22 inches)

Depth: Approx. 2.1 cm (0.82 inches)

[Condition: Antique / Wabi-Sabi]
Please read carefully before bidding:
This is a genuine antique item that has survived through centuries. As such, it shows significant signs of its long history and previous use.

Lacquer Wear & Loss: There are visible areas where the gold Makie has worn off or flaked away over time (for example, parts of the crane and dragon designs are incomplete due to natural aging).

Surface Condition: There are overall scratches, scuffs, and minor chips on the lacquer surface and the edges of the compartments.
We have not attempted any modern restorations, preserving its original historical integrity. In Japan, we appreciate these marks of time as Wabi-Sabi—the beauty of imperfection and history. Please carefully review all detailed photographs to confirm the exact condition before placing your bid.

[Shipping & Handling]
This precious antique will be meticulously packed with the highest level of care and strictly protected against moisture and impact during international transit.
Shipped directly from Japan with a tracking number.
(Note: Import duties, taxes, and custom charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.)
