Writing Box (Suzuribako) and Writing Table (Bundai) with Pines at Takasago and Sumiyoshi
Yukio Yukio II Japanese
Not on view
In the Noh play Takasago, the Takasago and Sumiyoshi pine spirits are personified as an elderly couple, wearing humble dress. With its well-known symbol of matrimonial happiness, this writing set was likely made as a wedding gift. The Tokyo-based maki-e master Yukio Yukio II was awarded a gold medal for his lacquer work at the 1900 Paris World Exposition.
