A beautifully decorated lacquer box dating from the 1930s or 1940s enclosed in a signed wooden box. Inside silver flake on shiny black, outside what appears almost a matt finish, of dark soft orange-peel texture with brilliant designs in raised gold and silver maki-e wrapping around the edges. The artists signature can be discerned in the nashiji beneath. The storage box originally bore the title and signature in ink, which was later covered over with silver Maki-e (the original ink signature is still visible beneath). We have had it professionaly cleaned inside and out. It is roughly 8 x 10 x 5 inches (21 x 25 x 13 cm) and is in superb condition. Shimada Shunko (1910-1986) was active throughout the early to mid 20th century, and was displayed at the Nitten National Exhibition among others.
