The style is associated with the military potentate Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598) and named for the Kōdaiji temple, where his memorial shrine was built in 1616. The shrine's lacquered interior, along with some thirty lacquer objects of personal use that are preserved there, are similarly decorated with naturalistic designs, mainly of autumn grasses, which are often combined with scattered paulownia crests, the personal emblem of the Toyotomi family. On this box the landscape motifs of a snow-covered willow by a bridge and a wisteria-wrapped pine tree are unusual, as is the use of gold-and-silver-foil inlay.. Stationery Bo.

Writing boxes, rifles and gun boxes with European marquetry decoration are likely to have been used by Europeans. This particular casket is decorated with the crest of the Hastings family, presumably of Warren Hastings (1732-1818). Hastings had a brilliant and finally tragic career in service of the British East India Company. Leaving England in 1750, he became the British resident in Murshidabad seven years later, returning to England in 1765. Hastings went back to India in 1769 and was appointed Governor General of Bengal in 1773. Hastings ultimately left India in 1785 to face a long trial for impeachment charges.. Casket.
