Case (Inrō) with Design of Rooster and Chickens Beneath Flowering Cherry Tree
Black, cylindrical case with two handles on top. The case is divided into two sections, each with a design. The left section shows a blue and white bird bending down towards blue and white chickens, under a flowering tree with blue and white flowers. The right section shows a blue and white rooster standing, with blue and white chickens around it, under a flowering tree with blue and white flowers. The background of both sections is black with orange and blue speckles. The case appears to be made of lacquerware.
