The first historic box that I really like is the Central watchtower from the Eastern Han dynasty in China. I love the architectural features of the piece with the overhanging tile roofs, exterior staircase, and screen and open windows. Also, the height at 41 inches is incredible.
The second historic box that I really like is the Incense box (kogo) in the form of a plum flower from the Edo period. I like the unique shape of it – not only the flower shape that makes up the walls on the side but the dip in the form that the lid takes as well. Also, I like how asymmetrical the top part is with the bottom part.
The first contemporary box that I really like is the Three-Tier Stacking Box. I like the interesting shape, the nice color and texture on the surface of the piece. I also like how starting with the bottom part of piece and going up the piece, the height of each part of the piece gets shorter.
The second contemporary box that I really like is the
Squished Box. I like how it’s not a normal looking shape box but a more
circular shape. I also like how two sides of the lid portion are pinched in so
it’s easy to pick up the lid. With the pinched in sides on the lid portion,
shape of the box, color, and texture of the box looks like real like I could
touch it and feel it as well.
