HOPP FERENC MÚZEUM — MUSÉE FERENC HOPP - Ferenczy, László: Japanese Inrö in the Hopp Museum

14. Flat inrö of four cases. (Fig. 14. a-b). Interior channels. Inside nashiji. A pleasure boat with travellors, towed from the bank. The kinji ground turns thinner in the centre. Gold hira- and takamakie. Red, black, brown and green lacquer. Okibirame and some aogai inlay. 8X5.5 cm. Signature: Koma Kyühaku. There are four Koma masters with the Kyűhaku name in the list of lacquerers given by Herberts. The maker of our inrö was possibly Kyuhaku III (1762—94) or better Kyűhaku IV ( -1816). The representation of pleasure boats was rather frequent. It may be of interest to note that the Orange collection had an inrö with the similar representation of a boat, also with a Koma Kyuhaku signature. However, that specimen must have been made by an earlier Koma Kyűhaku.
