I love Inro, I really do. That's why I was an Inro collector first, and never sold any until I was about 40 years old. And now that I am retiring, I wish I didn't have to sell any of mine ... but I do. My store offers for sale Inro, Japanese Inro, inro, Netsuke, Sagemono, japanese inro, fubako, suzuribako, gold lacquer, japanese gold inro, and japanese maki-e and makie

(And for fun, here are 150 photos of Inro Sagemono and Kanamono in gold and silver !)
And here, some thoughts about collecting Japanese Inro: design, color, condition, desirablity...

From the first moment that I saw my first Japanese Inro I thought that these small masterpieces were wonderfully beautiful; miniature paintings in gold, silver, black lacquer; there is nothing in European or other Asian art to even begin to compare. If you love Inro as I do, please contact me and let's talk.

I recommend these beautiful Gold Japanese Inro

Beautiful gold ground Inro of Mandarin Ducks, from my collection ;
superb netsuke of broken ink stick, dragon design on the netsuke
USD $ P.O.R.

This beautiful inro depicts the famous fight between the young warrior Yoshitsune and the grizzled (like me) veteran Benkei. On a bridge in Kyoto, Benkei is crouching down to swipe with his huge Naginata while Yoshitsune, being young and agile is leaping up to avoid the cut.
