About the Book

The index of inro artists is the first reliable guide to the Japanese artists whose signatures appear on the miniature Japanese medicine-cases called inro. The result of thirty-five years study by the owner of the world’s most comprehensive inro collection, this book contains 2704 entries with more than 2000 signature photographs gathered from public and private collections throughout the world. The text includes concise biographical details of the artists and a listing of the main publications and collections where their works are to be found. This publication is an essential guide to the understanding of one of the world's most important miniature art forms.
