Lake Chūzenji, Nikkō, Kawase Hasui, ink and color on paper
Covered box with floral and trellis patterns set in panels painted in underglaze blue and overglaze red and green enamels.
Heavy gold loops that have a slit in them are at the top of the earrings. The slits would have allowed the wearer to slip them on their earlobes. Gold balls decorated with small gold suspended bangles form the center, with openwork gold heart-shaped pendants at the bottom. Granulation on finials with one finial bent.
Flattened, globular stoneware vase, slightly irregular in shape, comprised of layers of overlapping, colored clays that give the vase a textured surface, ranging in color from dark black-blue at the bottom to shades of green to pink at the rim of the round opening on the top, the interior glazed beige and blotchy brown.
