From our Japanese collection, we’re delighted to offer this beautifully made Japanese Silver and Shibuichi Box by Hiroteru 廣照, dating to the late Meiji period (circa early 20th century).
This striking piece stands on scrollwork feet and is finished in solid Japanese silver, topped with a softly flared plinth lid. Set into the lid is a large mixed-metal plaque worked in shibuichi, with inlays of shakudo, gold, and silver, using both taka zogan (raised inlay) and hira zogan (flat inlay). The scene is full of careful detail. At the centre, a twisted pine tree (matsu) in shakudo and gold stands beside an arched silver and gold bridge, leading up to a Shinto shrine temple, with a silver-blossomed tree stretching across the roof. In the sky above, two cranes glide in front of a golden full moon. Behind them, bold mountain forms are lightly carved in katakiribori, adding depth and atmosphere. The plaque is signed Hiroteru 廣照, a skilled artist who worked with the well-regarded Tenshodo Company 天賞堂 in Tokyo. The inside of the box is finished in Nashiji lacquer, divided into useful compartments, including a small cushioned section and an adjustable partition. The base carries the Jungin 純銀 mark for pure silver.
An exceedingly well-made piece from the late Meiji period, combining decorative quality with a practical form and a strong sense of Japanese tradition.
