A black lacquered pot in the shape of a sake taru (cask) decorated with maki-e of a sake cup and leaves. This is not a decorative item but actually functions, the sake able to pour from the spout on the left side of the handle. How it is able to pour through such a narrow piece of wood is an amazing piece of construction. Very unusual. It measures 22.5 x 16 x 34 cm (9 x 6-1/2 x 13-1/2 inches) and is in fine condition...

Temples and lush hills of gold decorate the black lacquered sides of this 19th century go-board. Each scene is unique, a lakeside garden, the shore dotted with pines, the stilted legs of a mountain temple rising out of the mist, a river rushing past the long gate, the temple roof visible over the hill, The legs are sculpted and decorated with maple leaves washing away in swirling water, and beneath can be found the crest of the Ii clan, Daimyo (warlords) of Hikone...
