Writing Box with Scenery of Mount Shio
- Exhibition information
- There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.
Hidden references to literature appear frequently on boxes for writing tools. Here, the lid shows a flock of plovers with words concealed on the rocks below. These motifs reference a poem from an imperial poetry anthology: "The plovers on the rocky shore beneath Mount Shio cry out, 'May the emperor's reign last eight-thousand years!'"
