One can see seashell inlays depicting plum blossoms, strategically scattered across the pearskin lacquer. “Pearskin” refers to the matte finish achieved by applying a coat of lacquer after sprinkling the base with gold powder, employing the makie technique. The use of shell inlay on a gold-powder-treated base became a short-lived fad during the Kamakura Period, overtaken by the greater popularity of a simple makie decoration. However, toward the end of Medieval Japan, exquisite inlay works were brought into Japan from Ming Dynasty China and also from the Li Dynasty in Korea, thus stimulating its revival. The exhibited letter box was most likely crafted around this time.

As a prototype feature, the Keio Object Hub uses AI (machine learning) to generate keywords for searches and filtering.
For the first launch, Google Cloud's Vision API will be used to analyze the images of each object and automatically generate keywords.
