The lid of this small writing box features three kinds of surfaces: the rocky outcrops, the sea, and the clouds. The outcrops are made of inlaid lead. The sea was created by working viscous lacquer with a stiff brush and the clouds were applied in two colours of lacquer. In this way, Jisei has attained a particularly expressive representation.
