Vtg. Japanese Wooden Calligraphy Box
This is a vintage Japanese wooden portable calligraphy box. It is brushed with a clear lacquer and has a checkered design with some small patterned squares reminiscent of yosegi-zaiku puzzle boxes. It has a shutter lid with a small metal handle that rolls back to expose the inside. While the ink stone and other utensils are missing, there are specific cutout spots where they should be placed, including brush rests. There is an inner panel that is removable, likely for cleaning or adjustments. On the very bottom, there is a shallow drawer for paper, extra brushes, cloths, etc.
Acquired from the famous Osu Antique Market in Nagoya, Japan
