A toy/model tiered food container or picnic set consisting of 3 ceramic bowls with a lid at the top. These are connected by strips of black paper running up one side and down the other, suggesting a frame. The paper has broken at either side so that the lid is now detached. The outside of the containers are painted with an Uguisu bird and plum tree.
These objects are only a part of our collections, of which there are more than 350,000 objects. This information comes from our collections database. Some of this is incomplete and there may be errors. This part of the website is also still under construction, so there may be some fields repeated or incorrectly formatted information.
The database sometimes uses language taken from historical documents to help research, which may now appear outdated and even offensive. The database also includes information on objects that are considered secret or sacred by some communities.
