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 wood tomobako (storage box) with the inscription ‘Hokiri no hana monyo honkei kobako’ [book-shaped small box with oriental plane flower design].Ise Monogatari (The Tale of Ise) is a classic work of Japanese court literature from the Heian period (794–1185), blending waka poetry and prose narrative. Traditionally attributed to the poet Ariwara no Narihira, the text consists of 125 episodic chapters, many of which revolve around themes of romantic love, exile, nature, and courtly life. The protagonist, often assumed to be Narihira himself, embodies the refined sensibilities of the Heian aristocracy. Rich in poetic allusion and emotional nuance, Ise Monogatari became a major source of inspiration for later art and literature.Museum comparison:Compare a related kogo (incense box) in the shape of the five volumes of The Tale of Genji, dated to the second half of the 19th century, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, object number 38.25.165a,b.Auction comparison:Compare a related kogo (incense box) in the shape of a Kokinshu book, dated to the late 19th century, at Christie's, Japanese and Korean Art including the Collection of David and Nayda Utterberg, 22 March 2022, New York, lot 69 (sold for USD 8,190).
