The interior is fitted with three drawers, and the inside of the door is further embellished with a figural decoration, reflecting the meticulous attention devoted to every aspect of the piece.Long regarded as a symbol of longevity, nobility, and auspiciousness, the chrysanthemum is among the most celebrated motifs in Japanese decorative arts.
