A school of fish crowd the black surface of this spectacular box by Goda Minoru enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Nagare no Naka ni (Amid the Current). The rim is finished with powdered silver, and the interior is black flecked with silver flake Nashiji. It is 27.5 x 21.2 x 5 cm (11 x 8-1/2 x 2 inches) and is in excellent condition.
Goda Minoru (1933-1983) was born in Toyama, and trained under his father as well as Yamazaki Ritsuzan. He consistently exhibited with the Nitten National Exhibition (First time in 1969). He also won prizes at the Japan Contemporary Arts and Crafts Exhibition and the Japan New Crafts Exhibition. This piece dates from the last years of his short life when he was at his peak.
