This portable writing box has three drawers; the two upper ones are for paper and documents, while the one at the bottom holds the inkstone, water dropper, and brushes. The cabinet is elaborately decorated with the highest quality maki-e (\u201csprinkled pictures\u201d). It was produced for the Tokugawa family in one of their official maki-e workshops, probably that of the K\u014dami family. The chrysanthemum flowers are depicted almost individually, each executed in a different hue or maki-e (flat or relief pattern) technique emphasizing the layered petal structure. Some of the flowers are shown frontally, others from the side or the back. Chrysanthemums, which represent both longevity and autumn, are often featured in classical Japanese poetry.Free picture Portable Writing Cabinet with Tokugawa Family Crests, Chrysanthemums, and Foliage Scrolls integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
