A sacred box designated a National Treasure, incorporating fusenryo design in mother-of-pearl inlay and maki-e lacquer work, will be shown here publicly for the first time since its restoration. Beautifully decorated “treasure boxes” such as this were not simply the cherished possessions of their wealthy and high-ranking owners, but were also commissioned for dedication to the gods, many examples surviving today as shrine treasures. This exhibition takes the box known as “Box with Fusenryo Design in Mother-of-Pearl Inlay and Maki-e,” a designated National Treasure, as its focal point, presenting other surviving examples of such boxes, including treasures that have been preserved and handed down in famous shrines, alongside it. This glorious array of sumptuous works displays the exquisite beauty of lacquer art gleaming with gold and mother of pearl.
