The delicate gold accents create an ethereal atmosphere, allowing the viewer to appreciate the refined pictorial expression characteristic of Kutani ware.

The wooden box bears the inscription indicating that this vase was presented as an official commendation (“Heisei 20 Fiscal Year Tax Office Director’s Award”), adding historical and cultural significance.
