Yokobue I
, also known as Oteki, was a late 18th century artist living near Kyoto, who established a prosperous business based on lacquering articles for the tea ceremony. He was followed by several generations working into the 20th century. For more information on the artist see Wrangham, E. A. (1995) The Index of Inro Artists, p. 330. The signature used on this inro best compares to the one shown below Yokobue I, illustrated in Wrangham, (1995) The Index of Inro Artists, p. 330.
