A SUPERB TOGIDASHI LACQUER ‘BEAUTY ARRANGING FLOWERS’ KOGO (INCENSE BOX)

Japan, 19th century

Of rectangular form with rounded corners, exquisitely decorated in iro-e togidashi-e on a lustrous roiro ground. The inrobuta (flush-fitting) lid features a bijin (beauty) dressed in an elegant robe, gracefully arranging flowers. The sides of the box are adorned with delicate flower sprays. The underside and interior are finished in roiro lacquer, with scattered gold flakes adding a subtle shimmer.

SIZE 3.2 x 7.4 x 9 cm

Provenance: Malcolm Fairley Ltd., London, 2003. From the collection of Eva & Aubrey Sweet, Melbourne, Australia, acquired from the above. A copy of the invoice from Malcolm Fairley Ltd, dated 6 November 2003, stating a purchase price of GBP 2,200 (or approx. EUR 4,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies the lot. Eva and Aubrey Sweet devoted over six decades to the formation of a distinguished private collection of Asian art, with particular strength in Chinese jade, Japanese lacquer, and netsuke. Their collecting began in the 1950s and was refined through sustained travel, scholarship, and long associations with leading dealers, curators, and artists internationally. Aubrey, a Melbourne physician who also studied acupuncture in Beijing, and Eva developed a discerning connoisseurship that balanced intuitive appreciation with systematic study, supported by an extensive reference library and active participation in scholarly circles. They acquired works of historic importance as well as contemporary pieces by artists such as Susan Wraight and Unryuan (Kitamura Tatsuo), demonstrating a commitment both to tradition and to the continuity of craft. The collection, housed in their Melbourne residence and affectionately referred to by the family as “the Museum,” stands as a testament to their lifelong dedication to the aesthetic and cultural values of Asian art.
Condition: Excellent condition with only minor wear and very few light surface scratches.
