The interior of nashiji with gold fundame rims.

Condition: The inro in very good condition with nibbles to edges, minor wear and traces of use. The netsuke with some light rubbing and losses to gold foil inlays.
Provenance: Ex-collection W. L. Behrens (1861-1913). A private collection in Southern Europe. With an old auction label.

In The Tale of the Heike, during Yoshitsune's attack at Ichi-no-Tani, the Taira clan scattered. Kumagai no Jiro Naozane, scanning the beach, spotted young Atsumori swimming towards escaping vessels. Beckoning him with a fan, Kumagai taunted Atsumori for showing his back to the enemy. They grappled on the beach, and Kumagai, stronger, pinned him to the ground, knocking off his helmet; however, he was moved by the beauty of the young boy, the same age as his son. Kumagai, aware that other Minamoto warriors would likely kill him, decided to be the one to end Atsumori's life. In tears, he beheaded the youth, reasoning it was better if he killed Atsumori, because he could offer prayers on his behalf for his afterlife. It is said that the beheading of Atsumori is what led Kumagai to take priestly vows and become a Buddhist monk. The present inro shows the aftermath of this scene, depicting Kumagai Naozane pensively looking at Atsumori’s kabuto.
