Lacquered Pill Case and Its Delicately-made Netsuke [Edo Period]
Accentuated with a boxwood netsuke on which a well bucket and a frog have been carved, this is a beautiful lacquered pill case with a gold kanji motif on black lacquer. This is a masterpiece, imparting not only a unique and flamboyant atmosphere, but also a taste for the simple and quiet.
