Description
Late Meiji - early Taisho (1910s) unusual Japanese wooden box, its cover inlaid with a metal fitting depicting seated young Kintaro petting one of his companions - a hare - as he is about to give it a treat, and his huge axe behind him. According to a Japanese legend Kintaro (also known as Kintoki) was the child of the forest raised by the mountain witch Yama Uba, and possessed an extraordinary strength. Wood appears to be kurogaki (black persimmon), excellent metalwork with various patinas and gilding, superb detailing - see Kintaro’s face and finely worked fur of the rabbit. Beautiful wood texture, bottom and cover fit nicely, in excellent condition. Box length 4 5/8 inches, height with cover 1 3/8 inches.
