Descrizione:
A rectangular case with four internal compartments, made of lacquered wood and featuring a cut sprig of chrysanthemum with two open flowers, buds and leaves on each side. The gold dust that once covered the designs has been worn away through use, revealing the underlying grey-brown layers. The netsuke is of a rounded, biconvex quadrangular shape and is decorated with relief figures executed in enamel paint. The ojime is a hexagonal silver prism with relief inlays of chrysanthemum corollas in gold and copper.
