This is a Wajima-style antique tea box with gold leaf. The wooden base is decorated with chrysanthemum patterns carved using the traditional Wajima technique, then filled with gold. The chrysanthemum petals are delicate, intricate, and complex, yet orderly, covering the entire surface with a shimmering gold sheen. The interior is finished with a black base lacquer using the traditional Wajima technique, with the gold leaf layered on top of the vermilion lacquer creating a brilliant effect.

Wajima lacquerware is world-renowned, and "shin-gold" is a unique technique of Wajima. The lacquer used in Wajima lacquerware is made with high-quality diatomaceous earth (Wajima base powder) produced in Wajima, resulting in a sturdy and durable base. The process of carving patterns onto the lacquered surface and then embedding gold or silver powder is called "shin-gold."
