Although it is similar in form to the familiar
Chinese examples made in the Canton
area in the late 18th and early 19th century,
both the style and the techniques of the
decoration suggest that this set of boxes
was manufactured in Japan, possibly in
Nagasaki, as part of a private trade in export
lacquer ware which flourished during the later
Edo period.
