拍品描述：
A RARE FOUR-CASE LACQUER INRO WITH EBI AND DANJURO MON
Unsigned
Japan, 17
th
century, Edo period (1615-1868)
Exhibited:
Treasures of the North, Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, 2000, no. 3, illustrated in the Catalogue, p. 230.
The early four-case inro boldly designed, bearing a black-lacquered ground, decorated in in red, silver and gold takamaki-e with gold foil details, depicting a large crayfish next to aquatic plants and the Danjuro family crest. The overall appearance of the inro mimics the typical red markings of the masks of this famous line of Kabuki actors. With a metal ojime decorated with a slender dragon.
HEIGHT 7 cm, LENGTH 6 cm
Condition: Very good condition, attractively worn, a few light scratches and tiny nicks mostly to edges. Typical losses to gold foil. Presenting beautifully.
Provenance:
Christie’s, London, 1985. Ex-collection Edward Wrangham, collection no. 1772, acquired from the above. Edward A. ‘Ted’ Wrangham (1928-2009) formed one of the most important collections of Japanese Art in modern times. His reference book ‘The Index of Inro Artists’ (1995) is considered one of the most important English-language studies on Japanese lacquer ever published. Sold at Bonhams, The Edward Wrangham Collection of Japanese Art Part I, 9 November 2010, London, lot 186 (
sold for GBP 9,000
). A European private collection, acquired from the above.
As the Danjuro family mon (three squares) is overshadowed by the large crayfish (ebi), the subject is a rusu moyo (absent motif) for one of the famous Danjuro actors of the Danjuro family who adopted the stage name Ichikawa Ebizo, the first of whom lived a short life from 1660 to 1704.
