This is a very rare piece that depicts a birch forest using "gosu carving", a technique that is highly valued and shows Leach's careful craftsmanship.
The carved pattern is expressed with intaglio engraving, and the elegant color of the gosu blue is used to depict a peaceful birch forest.This is a piece with a refined finish that displays a meticulous style that is rarely seen even among Leach's works.
This is a relatively early work by Leach, from 1920, and the box contains the enjoyable title "Birch Grove", which is thought to have been written by Leach, although the calligraphy is not particularly skilled.
