拍品描述
A LACQUER SUZURIBAKO WITH DRAGON AND TIGER

Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Of rectangular form with rounded edges and a slightly domed overhanging cover, bearing a rich nashiji ground finely decorated in gold, silver, and black takamaki-e and hiramaki-e to depict a ferocious three-clawed dragon with neatly detailed scales and mane, emerging from thick swirling clouds, framing the verse Ryu ginzureba kumo okori [when the dragon cries, clouds arise]. The interior of the cover also of nashiji with gold, silver, and brown takamaki-e, decorated with a tiger below bamboo and prunus, and the verse Tora usobukeba kaze shozu [When the tiger roars the wind arrives]. One tray detailed with leafy bamboo, the other tray fitted with a water dropper (suiteki) in peach form, and with a rectangular inkstone (suzuri).

The two verses are taken from the phrase ‘The dragon cries and the tiger roars’, meaning those who share the same thoughts and minds can understand each other's words and deeds, and are in tune with each other.

SIZE 23.4 x 21 x 4.5 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear, small natural age cracks to the interior and corners, light scratches, few small nicks and bruises, and minute losses to lacquer.

Both the tiger and dragon have important meanings in Buddhist and Taoist philosophy, together representing the yin and yang, the earth and sky, or the male and female. Furthermore, they represent strength, resilience and courage.
