A Gold Lacquer Four-Case Inro

The small rounded rectangular body with a lustrous roiro ground strikingly lacquered in contrasting gold and iro-e takamaki-e with an all-over design of an autumnal moonlit dense forest scene with a myriad of predatory birds and prey perched on the gnarled branches of ivy-clad trees, comprising a hunting owl and a pair of crows on one side and a hawk, two finches and a monkey swinging from the branches on the other, all reserved on a ground of fern and foliage embellished in delicate gold togidashi maki-e , the design continuing over the surface of the top case, the cord runners of shibuichi and in the form of flutes alluding to the sounds of the forest at night, the interior of rich gyobu flakes, signed on the base in gold hiramaki-e Yoyusai with a kao, with a small stone ojime.
