拍品描述：
A FIVE-CASE LACQUER INRO WITH A CHAIN OF GIBBONS
Unsigned
Japan, 18
th
century, Edo period (1615-1868)
Of slender upright form and lenticular profile, the black lacquer ground densely sprinkled in nashiji, decorated in iro-e hiramaki-e and takamaki-e, as well as kirigane, to depict a continuous chain of gibbons swinging towards the coast where their companion awaits with a shakujo rattle, the faces detailed in bright red lacquer.
With an aventurine glass ojime. The netsuke in the form of a seated monkey with one foot clasped around a peach stem, the fruit snug on its lap, and one hand covering its mouth. The eyes inlaid in dark wood. Asymmetrical himotoshi to the side and underside.
Inro HEIGHT 9.8 cm, LENGTH 3.9 cm
Netsuke HEIGHT 3.7 cm
Condition: Overall good condition with wear, rubbing, and some flaking. Very tiny chips along the edges of the compartment and minuscule losses to the cord runners. The netsuke in good condition with minor wear.
Provenance:
Ex-collection Clifford and Marilyn Haumiller, Elgin, Illinois, United States.
The present inro refers to a Buddhist story in which a monkey attempts to seize the reflection of a moon in a well; it fails when the branch from which it is hanging breaks. The monkey stands for unenlightened people who cannot distinguish between reality and illusion.
