Fine Japanese Lacquered Inro by Yutokusai

The slightly round inro features a very intricate design with three unfolded fans on the front and two on the back: each reveals a vignette landscape scenery, likely real places in Japan. Using a combination of hiramaki-e and slight takamaki-e, the artist deftly created the pictures with fine details, rendering the inro as a miniature artwork. The interior was finished in Nashiji. It was marked on the base with raised Kanji signature Yutokusai. There is no rope present.
