Suzuribako 硯箱 (Writing Inkstone Box) Richly Decorated Throughout with Nashi-ji Maki-e with Black Box VA304

This elegant inkstone box is richly decorated throughout with Nashi-ji Maki-e. Nashiji Makie is that Nashi-ji powder is sprinkled on the lacquered area, and then further layers of lacquer are applied and polished out. This technique began in the Kamakura period (1185-1333). It got this name because of its resemblance to the skin of a pear. The inside is sprinkled with Nashi-ji Maki-e on a black Urushi lacquer base. This inkstone box is simple, sophisticated, and graceful. This inkstone box also comes with its original storage black wooden box with string.

Suzuribako (Inkstone Box) is a box to store inkstone and calligraphic tools.
