    Very nice pick-up! Thanks for sharing.

    Always impressed by the quality of the lacquer cases of Japanese decorations but know next to nothing about them.

    I'd assumed that they were all produced by the Japanese Mint but it would make sensue that ribbons, lacquer cases, etc, were sub-contracted to specialist manufacturers. Is Kobayashi Lacquerware a frequently encountered manufacturer of cases?

    Yep! Kobayashi seems to be fairly common. Of course plenty of unmarked ones. Here is another maker, Kintou Lacquerware, also from Tokyo. I don't see these as often as Kobayashi:

    I could swear I've seen a third maker too, but I don't have one and I simply can't recall the name!
