Letter Box (base)

Ogata Kōrin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Letter Box base by Ogata Kōrin. A rectangular, dark brown lacquerware box with rounded corners and slightly raised edges. The box has a glossy finish and features an inlaid design of white flowers with gold leaves and stems on the top surface. The inlaid flowers have multiple petals and are scattered across the surface, accompanied by long, thin leaves and stems made of gold. The background of the box is a dark brown color, which provides a striking contrast to the gold and white inlays. The box is positioned on a plain gray surface, with a subtle shadow visible beneath it.
