The exaggerated graining of this box reflects the infuence of the lacquerer Ogawa Haritsu (1663-1747). His works were extremely popular during the Meiji period, particular with westerners. The box was produced by Ikeda Taishi (1825-1903) the best pupil of Shiata Zeshin (1807-91) who was the most creative influence in the field of lacquer during the second half of the 19th century.
