A Three-Case Inro Signed Koma Yasutada saku, Edo Period (19th century)

An inro is a traditional Japanese case for holding small objects, suspended from the obi worn around the waist when wearing kimono. They are often highly decorated with various materials such as lacquer and various techniques such as maki-e, and are more decorative than other Japanese lacquerware.

Decorated in iroe-takamaki-e and hirame on a polished black lacquer ground with sprinkled gold to the lower half, with a bird on a flowering camellia branch, red lacquer interiors, fundame risers and rims

This inro is one of a set of one hundred known as the 'Gifu set', commissioned for presentation to the shogun, each featuring a different bird matched with appropriate plants. Nine were owned by Tomkinson and several are in the Baur collection.1
