Writing Box (Suzuribako) and Writing Table (Bundai) with Pines at Takasago and Sumiyoshi. Artist: Yukio Yukio II (Japanese, 1860-1929). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Writing box: H. 2 in.; W. 9 in.; L. 9 3/4 in.
Table: H. 4 7/8 in.; W.14 1/2 in.; L. 24 in.. Date: early 20th century.
In the Noh play Takasago, the Takasago and Sumiyoshi pine spirits are personified as an elderly couple, wearing humble dress. With its well-known symbol of matrimonial happiness, this writing set was likely made as a wedding gift. The Tokyo-based maki-e master Yukio Yukio II was awarded a gold medal for his lacquer work at the 1900 Paris World Exposition.
