    This truly has me stumped. I found this guy at a flea market and for the price, I could not pass it up. For as much as I know about Asian (Japanese) Architecture, I believe this is a Temple and pagoda...thing. with a Geisha. It is missing a piece, maybe a bell or well??? At one time it had red paint or enamel on it and it is signed Nikko? in the lower left under the temple. The temple is a box with a gilding inside and the whole thing looks like it is just a top piece to a larger box or other piece of furniture. Any thoughts? Let me know

      Nikko is the small town where the temple, which can be seen on the cover, is located.

      Thanks MP. I'll keep an eye out for the missing ashtray
