About the Item
A Japanese three-section inro made from ceramic with glazed painting with an original ensuite Ojime circa 18th century of Edo period signed by Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743).
The circular inro features a painting of a scholar with black hat (often worn by the literati of Chinese Song-Ming dynasty). The elder has a smiling face and long white bear and holding a flywhisk, a regalia across Asian cultures, but particularly with Taoism and Buddhism in China and Japan. The figure could embody an old scholar, a sage, or a deity of longevity. On the opposite side, a wonderful arrangement of scholarly item is found. An archaic form incense burner is next to a low desk in red lacquer. On top, there places a brush pot with brush pens and peacock feathers, an ink stone, a stack of books, a water dropper and an ewer. On the ojime connected to the Inro by silk cord, there is a bell and a bronze alms bowl, associated with Japanese Shingon. Both the Inro and Ojime were signed with matching Kenzan seal in black.
The Inro and Ojime are attributed to Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743) and was quite possibly made by him. Kenzan was a celebrated potter, painter and calligrapher from Edo period and associated with Kyō ware and Kiyomizu ware, in which this piece belongs to. Ceramic inros that bear Ogata Kenzan's signature are scarce, especially in good condition.
For two examples including one in the identical circular form, see item AS39-1971, AS38-1971 in the collection of National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourn, Australia.

Antique Japanese Inro by Shigehide Edo Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
This exquisite four-case lacquered inro was dated to the latter part of 18th century to early 19th century (Edo period) and made by Shigehide. The opposite sides of the inro together features a lavish flower arrangement in a bamboo basket (ikebana). The detailed craftmanship was a true pleasure to behold. Mostly Takamaki-e (high relief) were used to texturize the delicate petals of the chrysanthemums, on which different shades of gold were used to create contrast. Raden (mother of pearl) shells were also used to highlight some leaves, rendering the piece an interesting balance of color and material. The interior was completed in a mottled gold finish. It was signed Shigehide on the bottom with a Kao. There is a small carved rabbit ojime bead...
