Inro 1725 - 1825

This small, intricately decorated "Inro" is a traditional Japanese container, crafted by the renowned artist Migita Toshihide sometime between 1725 and 1825. The "Inro" is made of lacquered wood and features a detailed design of plum blossoms and a bird, all rendered in gold and silver. It was likely used to hold small, personal items, and showcases the skill and artistry of Japanese craftsmanship from the Edo period. The "Inro" is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the global reach of Japanese art.
