Description

View of the Pinnacle is a richly illustrated catalogue from the University of Hawaii Press. This volume features more than eighty suzuribako from the Edmund and Julia Lewis Collection, spanning the fourteenth through the twentieth centuries. These exquisite lacquer boxes were designed to hold the implements used in brush-and-ink calligraphy, combining utilitarian function with superb craftsmanship. The art of creating suzuribako began during the Heian period (794-1185) when Japanese aristocratic culture and literary traditions flourished. The craft reached a peak during the sixteenth century, making this collection a significant resource for those interested in decorative arts, Japanese history, and the evolution of calligraphy tools. This book provides a deep look at these historical objects through detailed illustrations and historical context.
