Chrysanthemums and brightly colored maple leaves are painted on the black lacquer of the exhibited piece. In the Akazome Emon Anthology (Akazome Emon was a noted poet and court lady of the Heian Period), Emon writes that she was posed with the question “Which would you regret more: the fading chrysanthemums or the falling maple leaves at the end of autumn?” These two plants, representative of autumn, are often found together in literature, as well as in pictorial representations on crafts such as lacquerware.
