TOSHIHIDE: A FINE LACQUER FOUR-CASE INRO DEPICTING A COASTAL TOWN TOSHIHIDE: A FINE LACQUER FOUR-CASE INRO DEPICTING A COASTAL TOWN By Toshihide, signed Toshihide with kakihan Japan, 19 th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Of upright, rectangular form and oval section, the dark-brown ground finely decorated in splendid mura-nashiji and gold and silver hiramaki-e with a coastal town among tall pine trees with large mountains in the background. Signed to the base TOSHIHIDE with a red-lacquer seal. Provenance: German private collection. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and surface scratches. HEIGHT 7.4 cm Toshihide (1757-1833), together with his younger brother Toshihide II (1771-?), belonged to the branch of the Tatsuke family originated by Eisuke in Kyoto. The Toshihide brothers were both fine lacquerers and notable inro decorators, also lacquering boxes and netsuke. It is not always easy to distinguish between their work, but Toshihide I worked mainly in takamaki-e and only occasionally in togidashi-e. However, although the seal Tokei may have been used by both brothers, it is more associated with Toshihide I. Nonetheless, Toshihide II worked almost invariably in togidashi-e and his inro of birds in this technique are equal to the work of Moei and other distinguished exponents. See Earle, Joe [ed.] (1995) The Index of Inro Artists, p. 305.
