When we were in Tokyo in 1978 we saw a most marvellous exhibition of these small incense boxes (Kogo). They were collected by Georges Clemenceau, the French Statesman while he was in Japan. He collected a total of 3,500 some of which were shown at this exhibition from the Montreal Museum, Canada where they are now housed.
I was able to take three or four pictures before I was politely stopped - the catalogue was much better anyway.
