This striking piece features a richly gilded surface with an elegant relief design of cherry blossoms (sakura), a symbol deeply associated with the Japanese military spirit and the fleeting nature of life. The refined ornamental border and textured ground highlight the craftsmanship, while the symmetrical floral motifs enhance its aesthetic balance.
