An Edo period gilt-copper and black and gold maki-e lacquer palanquin, the exterior decorated with peonies, môn and karakusa together with the crest of the Mizuno clan (omodaka, or three-leaf arrowhead, with water in a stream below), a prominent samurai family in Japan with significant influence during the Sengoku and Edo periods. The gilt-copper mounts are chiselled with similar foliate decoration.
The shuttered doors open to reveal a padded interior, retaining the original embroidered silk upholstery, and painted on paper with flowers, cranes, pines and cherry trees, together with the original carrying beam, similarly lacquered and mounted.
