Shelf for Cosmetic Boxes (Kurodana) with Wild Grapevine and Family Crest first half of the 17th century Japan This piece of four-shelved furniture was part of a high-ranking brides trousseau (typically, the dowry included a stand with three shelves). The kurodana was used for the display and storage of cosmetic boxes and toiletries, including the utensils necessary for tooth blackening (haguro), the sign of a married woman. This examples black-lacquer surface features a pattern of wild grapevines and the nine-circle or star crest (kuy? mon), which might be associated with the Hosokawa family. Its flat, repeated maki-e decoration closely resembles K?daiji lacquers prepared in Kyoto in the Momoyama period (1573-1615) to suit the taste of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. K?daiji wares and those produced around the same time as export furniture for the Western market, until the 1630s, are strongly connected, as exemplified by the abstract geometric patterns (nanban karakusa) on this shelf
