About the Item
Our design philosophy honors this rich heritage while embracing the core tenets of Japanese minimalism: simplicity, mindfulness, and functionality. We have streamlined the complex, multi-layered structure of the traditional Inro to create a seamless, single-cavity design that speaks to contemporary needs. The focus shifts from overt embellishment to the subtle, inherent beauty and texture of the white oak or ash, echoing the wabi-sabi appreciation of imperfection and transience.
The case is constructed entirely from white oak or ash. The minimalist approach results in clean lines and a smooth, tactile finish, offering a sense of calm and sophistication in a world of visual noise. The natural variation in the wood grain means that each <009_kin
is subtly unique.
Designed for modern life and crafted by traditional joinery techniques, this piece is a versatile accessory for the discerning individual. It provides a protective, elegant home for eyeglasses, sunglasses, or a selection of fine writing instruments, ensuring they are always close at hand and impeccably stored.

Fine Japanese Lacquered Inro by Yutokusai
Located in Atlanta, GA
A four-case lacquered Japanese inro by Yutokusai (Gyokkei), a lacquer artist active from 1845-1900 (end of Edo to Meiji period). The slightly round inro features a very intricate design with three unfolded fans on the front and two on the back: each reveals a vignette landscape scenery, likely real places in Japan. Using a combination of hiramaki-e and slight takamaki-e, the artist deftly created the pictures with fine details, rendering the inro as a miniature artwork...

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...
