The right plaque is decorated with the mon of the Toyotomi family (mon “go-shichi no kiri“, 五七の桐), whose most famous member was Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598), one of the three unifiers of Japan during the Sengoku period (1477-1573). The plaque on the right bears that of the Inaba family (mon “oshiki ni mittsu sangi“, 折敷に三つ算木), a predominant samurai clan in the Sengoku (1477-1573) and Edo (1603-1868) eras that became vassals of the Tokugawa in the Edo period. The association of the two mons suggests that this set was part of a wedding trousseau. The two plates open and close with a hook.

The structure is decorated with floral motifs in gold lacquer maki-e. Each joint is reinforced by an engraved copper plate with the same floral motifs. The structure of the box is divided into two registers. The upper register is open and consists of a black lacquered tray for two sake containers. The lower register is composed of a black lacquer drawer, the knob is made of copper and shaped like a flower button, a small ring allows the opening.
