拍品描述：
A FIVE-CASE LACQUER INRO WITH GIBBONS AND PINES
Unsigned
Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
Of upright form and square section, bearing a fine roiro ground, worked in gold, silver, and brown takamaki-e and hiramaki-e, and with kirigane flakes, depicting on one side two gibbons in a pine tree reaching for the reflection of the moon, the verso showing a third monkey reaching upwards. The interior lacquered in black and with fundame edges.
HEIGHT 8.1 cm, LENGTH 4.3 cm
Condition: Overall good condition with minor wear, the top with few small bruises, few minor flakes throughout, small losses to the cord runners and holes, light surface scratches, few minor touchups, and the rims with minor nicks and few losses.
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.
Museum comparison:
Compare a related black lacquered inro with gibbons, dated 1750-1850, in the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession number W.372-1916.
