INRO Appearing in Japan in the mid-16th century, inrô are small utilitarian boxes formed of one to seven compartments, which were used to hold sealing seals, vermilion wax, and medicines. A male accessory, the inrô was suspended from the obi of the kimono, held by a netsuke at the end of a cord regulated by an ojime, and allowed the transport of small personal effects since the kimono had no pockets. Simply covered with a layer of black lacquer during the Tensho period (1573-1591), the inrô was soon coupled with decorative attention reflecting the social status and aesthetic taste of its wearer. During the 17th century, decorations flourished, reflecting Japanese mythology and imagination. The materials became more noble and were embellished with decorations carved using various techniques, in lacquer or covered with tortoise shell. The lacquer, originally sober, is enriched by inclusions of ivory, mother of pearl, gold and silver. Today, the inro is one of the most important objects for Japanese art collectors.
