Inrō with Chinese Landscape in Moonlight
Black, rectangular inrō with rounded edges, featuring a raised design of a Chinese landscape in moonlight. Two sections of the inrō are shown side by side. The left section depicts a mountain range with a full moon in the top-left corner, while the right section shows a similar landscape without the moon. Both sections have a small handle at the top. The inrō appears to be made of lacquer or a similar material and has a shiny surface. The background behind the inrō is beige. The inrō is attributed to the artist Shibata Zeshin.
