A BLACK LACQUER THREE-CASE INRO WITH A HO-O BIRD ON A KIRI TREE A BLACK LACQUER THREE-CASE INRO WITH A HO-O BIRD ON A KIRI TREE Unsigned Japan, 18 th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Of upright rectangular form and oval section, bearing a roiro ground, intricately lacquered to the exterior in gold chinkinbori, to depict a continuous image of a ho-o bird (akin to a phoenix) perched on a branch of a lush kiri (paulownia) tree. The bird depicted with its wings resplendent and a long tail flowing in the wind. The interior compartments of nashiji with gold fundame rims. HEIGHT 6.5 cm, LENGTH 6.5 cm Condition: Overall good, worn condition. Few losses along the edges, tiny nicks to the bottom, and one scratch to the bottom case. Minor old touchups to edges. Provenance: Ex-collection Claudio Perino, a collector with a keen interest in Japanese, Chinese and Far Eastern cultures. His collection consists of over 2000 works of art, partly loaned to the Museum of Oriental Arts (MAO) in Turin, Italy and to the Museo delle Culture (MUSEC) in Lugano, Switzerland. An exhibition of Kakemono scroll paintings was on view in the MUSEC until end of April 2021. Both the ho-o bird and the paulownia (kiri) tree are imperial symbols of Japan. According to legend, the ho-o, a bird similar to the phoenix that represents the eternal rebirth of the soul, only settles on the Kiri tree. In the hope of attracting this auspicious bird that blesses people with wisdom, health and happiness, the trees are planted in courtyards and gardens. Auction comparison: Compare a closely related black lacquer three-case inro worked in chinkinbori with a bird perched on a rock beside flowering peonies, by Fujikawa Zokoku, at Bonhams, The Edward Wrangham Collection of Japanese Art, 6 November 2013, London, lot 280 ( sold for GBP 4,375).
