Subject:Inscription on antique Japanese crate
Posted By: Spartakos Mon, Jun 03, 2019 IP: 2403:6200:88a0:bb03:
Dear forum members
I am trying to establish the origin and date of very beautiful Maki-e set. It came in original wooden crate with inscription, I hope there are clues to the maker and date. Please comment if you can read this. I've adjusted the photos to maximize the letters visibility.
Thank you
