Open the lacquered box in the intense blue-black, characterizing the deep sea, and admire the underwater wonders and corals. Some have lived for more than 1000 years and have been regarded as good luck charms since ancient times.

Namiki deployed its most sophisticated techniques on the Namiki Emperor Coral (Sango) to sublimate the scintillating reflections of the ocean. They are expressed in Togidashi maki-e, raden, and taka maki-e. The serial plate and inkwell cap contained in the box is also decorated with underwater motifs.
