The emblem, featuring the gentian flower within a circle, symbolizes purity, nobility, and a connection to the Minamoto clan. Inside, the upper section is adorned with a treasure trove pattern in maki-e, showcasing symbols of protection, wealth, and invisibility - including a key, a magic mallet, a counterweight, cloves, and cloaks and hats of invisibility. These symbols blend the mystical with the material, all set against a backdrop of gold leaf lining, indicating both sanctity and luxury. The cabinet exhibits signs of age like wear, stains, and scratches, particularly on the gold leaf areas. These marks tell a story of the cabinet's historical journey and use.
