Fresh Find From our recent Japanese Acquisitions Travels
This big old hand carved wooden boat including a hand fitted metal interior was likely once used a century or more ago as a flower arranging display – ikenobu fune- or perhaps in a younger age for sushi presentation. Its substantial size suggests an institutional purpose. Either way it is an historic gem and the only work of art of its kind we have ever seen.
The original collectors wood storage box tomobako with a signed label attached , is included.
Dimensions: each boat is 27 inches in length and 6 inches high
This dates to the Edo period, circa 1850.
Quality: Stunningly beautiful in its well used nautical form.
Provenance: Private Japanese Otsu collection.
