Description
This document or stationery box, in which papers and scrolls were stored, is the mate to the adjacent writing box (67.75). The inlaid silver inscription is a fragment of Genji's poetic reply to the emperor woven across an image of a snow-covered veranda in the city of Kyoto. Genji wrote:
The snows beneath the pines of Oshio
Have never known such mighty company.
