Japanese Laquer Box

Hi Friends,

This post has nothing to do with my cabin. I'm doing a report for an art history class I'm taking and the assignment requires submitting a link to a website with an image of the art piece on which I am writing my paper. In case you're interested, this is a box made of wood and lacquer that was used to hold the art and calligraphy instruments of a Japanese artist in the mid 1800s. This particular one belongs to my step-dad, John and it was passed to him by his great-grandfather who received it as a gift from a Japanese sailor in the 1850s.

Enjoy!

Jon
