Description: | This square casket (sashidaru) has broad flat shoulders and small neck. It shows a classic vase shape with long sweeping neck leading to a bulbous curvilinear lip. Great attention has been paid to the decorative detail, such as the chrysanthemum floral shaped neck and the red and black painted areas that alternate right down to the feet of the vessel. The black lacquer has a high sheen, with some chipped damage at the top of the jar. On the red lacquer edges small sections have been worn away and the underlying black lacquer has become visible.
