This is a richly illustrated catalogue featuring more than eighty 'suzuribako', dating from the fourteenth through the twentieth centuries, from the Edmund and Julia Lewis Collection. 'Suzuribako', the exquisite lacquer boxes designed to hold the implements used in creating brush-and-ink calligraphy, have for centuries combined utilitarian function with superb craftsmanship. Stephen Little, describing the layered literary themes frequently depicted in 'suzuribako', notes that "the excavation of hidden layers of meaning in a box's decoration becomes a thrilling quest.”
