Japanese antique Edo period landscape painting inro and wooden netsuke

Description

<CONDITION> 

Thank you for viewing.
This is an inro (small decorative container) and a wooden netsuke (miniature toggle) depicting a landscape from the Edo period.
An inro netsuke is a small decorative item used in the Edo period as a fastener to prevent inro, tobacco pouches, and other "hanging items" from slipping off the obi (sash).
It has some age-related wear and stains.
Please check the condition in the images.
Inro (inro) originated as a container for seals and ink pads that was introduced from China during the Muromachi period. In the Edo period, they were small, stacked containers used primarily by samurai and wealthy townspeople to carry medicines and seals. They also developed into stylish fashion items that were hung from obi (sashes) and decorated with elaborate maki-e lacquer and other designs.
