The first Igarashi Doho moved, together with his adopted son Doho II, and pupil, Shimizu Kyubei, from Kyoto, his native city, to Kanazawa in Kaga at the behest of Maeda Toshitsune, daimyo of the province in around 1700. Doho was the son of Igarashi Hosai and a descendant of Shinsai (c.1407-90), the founder of the school. Igarashi Doho developed a unique combination of black lacquer coating with extensive use of gold and silver leaf, flecks, and even nuggets of gold and silver. The elegance of this type of lacquerware appealed to the aristocratic nature of the samurai culture. After the fame of Igarashi lacquer was established in Kanazawa (it became known as Kaga-maki-e), Doho returned to Kyoto, where he died in 1678. Neither of the first two Doho masters signed their work. For two suzuribako by Doho I see Tokyo National Museum, Special Exhibition Oriental Lacquer Arts (Tokyo, 1977), no. 301 and 302.
For a similar example of the first Igarashi Doho School, see the exhibition catalogue of the Tokyo National Museum, Igarashi-ha no makie [Maki-e Lacquer of the Igarashi School], (Tokyo, 2004), p. 11, pl. 3.
