Peter Bleed Posted November 18, 2018 Report Posted November 18, 2018 Friends, I beg the help of the NMB on a recently acquired inro. Can anyone give me advice in this piece, please...? Peter Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted November 19, 2018 Report Posted November 19, 2018 Peter, your Inro dates to late Meiji/Taisho, it's more an export item than one for the native market. The appearance of age is not natural. Sorry, it is not better news. Quote
Fuuten Posted November 19, 2018 Report Posted November 19, 2018 Its a food box? An inro is usually described as something of a pill-box. Or basically storage for small objects. Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted November 19, 2018 Report Posted November 19, 2018 Dwain, Your thinking of a JUBAKO, which is a freestanding multi-tiered food storage container. The INRO is a much smaller multi-tiered storage container that is worn suspended at the waist. Quote
Peter Bleed Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 Thank you for all of this useful information. I am informed, even if I am not enriched! Peter 1 Quote
