Japan, Momoyama period Writing Box (Suzuribako) with Phoenix in Paulownia 2016.34 Cleveland Museum of Art, This box––a container for an ink-stone, brushes, and ink––is both functional and lavish, its dramatic effects achieved with a pear-skin ground decoration (nashiji), and sprinkled powder decoration in high relief (takamaki-e). In contrast to the bright, celebratory motifs on the exterior, the interior of the box invites a more reflective mood with its autumn moonlit sky over chrysanthemums.

日本 桃山時代 墨、筆、墨の容器で、真珠の皮をまとった装飾で、高浮き彫りで粉をまぶした演出効果を発揮する、機能性と豪華さを兼ね備えた箱。外装の明るくて祝祭的なモチーフとは対照的に、箱の内側は、秋の月明かりの空が菊の上にある、より反射的な雰囲気を醸し出している。
