Japanese Edo Lacquer jukogo (3 tiered Japanese Edo Lacquer jukogo (3 tiered incense container) used for jishu-ko or kodo (the incense game).Kodo propably started in the Heian period and reached it's height in the Edo. There are three small feet missing from one tray, and there probably was a metal liner for the bottom tier. This doesn't affect quality of the piece. The bottom tier holds ash to insulate a hot coal used to burn the incense in a kodo. The middle tier holds the 3 sm boxes for the host's "house fragrances". These 3 sm box lids show the 3 Winter Friends, Plum, Pine, & Bamboo. The sm hole in the bottom of the 2nd tier is used to poke ones finger thru to get the 1st incense box out. The top tier would hold mica chips on which the incense is burned. Since 4 fragrances are used in kogo, the exterior top compartment would hold the "guest fragrance". This jukogo could be part of a lg game set that can have many components. This set was acquired from the original family that purchased it in Japan in 1865. This lacquer travel set measures four and one quarter inches high by 4 and three quarter inches high by 3 and one quarter inches deep. This set is complete.
