Japan, 19th century

The top of the cover to the larger box further decorated in gold takazogan with Jurojin and a crane, the lucky god holding a tall staff with a gourd attached on top in one hand and a fan in the other, standing beside a flowering prunus tree with buds and blossoms in coral and silver lacquer.

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.
