Never seen menuki used like this. Judging by the wood (pawlonia?) one wood say the box it self it is alsomade in Japan.

I think it is made for the Europian market round 1900, and you are right the wood is unknown here. Possible Japanese. I never saw a box like this on before.

I bought it in Haarlem in a bric a brac shop (uitdragerij) 15 years ago.

In Haarlem of all places, how nice. A lucky find. Now it will be hard to find something nice in a "uitdragerij"!
