SIZE 22.7 x 17.7 x 10 cm Condition: Very good condition with only very minor wear to lacquer and minuscule losses, particularly around the edges. Provenance: Old Swiss private collection formed in the 1940s/50s. The Nikko Tosho-gu is a highly important Shinto shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled Japan from 1603 until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Together with Futarasan Shrine and Rinno-ji, it forms the Shrines and Temples of Nikko UNESCO World Heritage Site, with 42 structures of the shrine included in the nomination. Five of them are designated as National Treasures of Japan, and three more as Important Cultural Properties. Hundreds of stone steps lead through the cryptomeria forest up to the grave of Tokugawa Ieyasu, where a bronze urn contains his remains. The subject matter and exceptionally fine quality of lacquer work may indicate this tebako was made by imperial decree. Auction comparison:For a lacquer Kodansu of similar quality and depicting the same subject matter, see Christie’s, The Joseph Collection of Japanese Art, 11 November 2015, London, lot 8 ( sold for 37,500 GBP).
