拍品专文

The inscription on the cover of the box accompanying the censer suggests that this censer was given as a gift to Tsuyoshi Inukai (1855-1932), an important politician of the Showa period and Prime Minister of Japan between 1931-32, by Yuan Shikai (1859-1916), the first president of the Republic.
