A
lovely lacquered zushi standing at just under a foot tall. Narrow and slim, the
black finish is highlighted by gold paint and bronze detail. It opens to reveal
an immaculately empty space for a statue or plaque, its clasp and hinges working
smoothly as the day it was made. An antique cabinet shrine in excellent condition.
