Japanese Samurai Damascene Case - Signed Komai

Item Details

Description

Fine antique Japanese damascene inlaid mixed metal cigarette case. Meiji Period. Signed Komai, stamped into the back side of the silver band on the interior. Circa 1910.

Decorated with designs of Samurai, complete with swords, armor and archery gear. Inlaid on black with gold and silver. Very detailed. The reverse with a double shield design also in gold and silver.

Rare and unusual subject matter by a famous maker. Museum quality.

SIZE - 3 1/8" x 4 7/8" x 3/8" (8 cm x 12.5 cm x 1 cm)

PROVENANCE: California estate.

NOTES / REFERENCES: The Komai family workshop was opened in 1841 in Kyoto by Komai Seibei who was a known sword fittings maker. In 1876 a law was made that directly prohibited people, except for Daimyos (former lords), the military, and law enforcement officials, from carrying weapons in public. The Komai family had to find alternative methods to earn a livelihood and they applied their exceptional talents to creative objects such as cigarette cases, boxes, miniature cabinets and vases. Komai Otojiro was self-promoted as “the pioneer in the manufacture of damascene ware” and was constantly improving the inlaying technique. He devoted his life’s work to crafting high quality pieces for national and foreign exhibitions. A period from 1900 to 1915 was the company’s most productive time. Komai Otojiro submitted his works to many national and international exhibitions, winning prestigious prizes at almost all of them. Komai Otojiro retired in 1906 and died in 1917. The business was taken over by his son Seibei Komai (1883-1970), who took the name Otojiro II. He continued to submit the company’s work to exhibitions and in 1919 opened a company branch in Osaka.
