A four-case inro

Signed: Shigehide and red lacquer seal: Kajikawa
A small model, perhaps for a woman, with separate cord runners. Kinji ground, in hiramakie, with details in red, grey and black, the bird of paradise rising up into the air, its wide-spread tail hovering like a large curtain over the blooming nadeshiko, which blooms on the reverse along a course of a river with rocky banks. Dense nashiji to the inside. Diamond-shaped ojime, sentoku.
Height 6.6 cm
