This two-tiered food box has a raised lid, and top of the lid and each tier feature astragal pattern. HIDARIMITSUDOMOEMON, the family emblem, and BOTANSHIPPOUTSUNAGIMONYOU were inscribed on cinnabar-lacquered wood with sunken gold. The curved edge of the lid and the curved bottom part of the body were made by KENTAIKOUZOU (wrapping thin strips of wood or bamboo around a concentric form).
