Iino Ichirō 飯野一朗 Japanese

Not on view

This box has a unique appearance–the bottom is boat-shaped, while the large, overhanging lid almost covers it and dominates the object. The exterior of the lid is amalgam-gilded, with a fine grid of diagonal lines scored into the surface to expose the bright reddish copper underneath. Born in Saitama, Iino Ichirō is a Professor Emeritus at the Tokyo University of the Arts. He has won several major prizes for his jewelry.
