A RARE AND SUPERB GOLD LACQUER BOX AND COVER CONTAINING NINE KOGO (INCENSE BOXES), FOR THE INCENSE-MATCHING GAMEJapan, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)Of circular form, finely decorated with delicate takamaki-e on a gold ground featuring a fine brocade pattern. The inrobuta (flush-fitting) lid is adorned with elegant sprays of chrysanthemum at its center, framed by kinji rims accented with kirigane flakes. The underside is finished in e-nashiji, while the interior is lined with rich nashiji and gold fundame rims, housing an elaborate set of eight small kogo surrounding a larger central incense box.Each of the nine boxes is superbly decorated in gold and red hiramaki-e and takamakion variously shaded gold and silver grounds, further dusted with kinpun. The recessed lids are fitted with silver blossom-shaped finials, and beautifully embellished with seasonal and botanical motifs including trailing vines, wisteria, morning glories, nanten (nandina) berries, ginkgo leaves, and cherry blossoms. The smaller eight kogo each with a small shifuku (silk storage pouch).HEIGHT 4.9 cm, DIAMETER 11.9 cmCondition: Excellent condition. Typical traces of use and only minor wear including tiny losses to the kirigane flakes.Provenance: Ex-collection of Maybelle Dore. Maybelle (Betty) Dore started collecting Japanese antiques in the postwar years, during the 1950s and 1960s, when interest in Japanese art was generally very low. For her business she ventured to Japan on her own to assemble netsuke and related works of art, including pipe cases and kogo (incense containers). Betty was also a founding member and the first Chairwoman of the International Netsuke Society, Northern California Chapter.The present set was used for the incense-matching game. Like the Way of Tea and flower arrangement, the enjoyment of incense had developed into a complex pastime by the Edo period and had a large following during the seventeenth century. The various games involve guessing a fragrance from among more than 2,000 varieties, matching fragrances, and blending incenses to suggest certain moods.Auction comparison:Compare a related circular box with seven kogo (incense boxes), dated to the 19th century, at Zacke, Fine Japanese Art, 1 December 2023, Vienna, lot 10 (sold for EUR 4,940).
