Cabinet

Ogawa Haritsu (Ritsuō)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a cabinet by Ogawa Haritsu (Ritsuō). The cabinet has an overall rectangular shape, taller than it is wide, with a top section and two lower sections. The top section is a shelf containing various small objects. Below the shelf are two central square panels with a design; the panel on the left appears to contain a circular object, while the right panel is empty. These are flanked on either side by four small square panels in a row, each with a different design. The bottom section consists of a long drawer with a carved handle. The cabinet sits atop two matching tables. The cabinet and tables have a dark color with ornate carvings throughout. The tables have a curved design on the legs. The background shows a plain wall and floor.
