It can be divided into two and three sections, with each lid adorned with urushi gold maki-e, some parts prominently embossed. Signs of use and wear are visible at the corners of each tiered box. The dimensions of a single box are approximately 24.5 cm in width, 22.7 cm in depth, and 8.7 cm in height (excluding the lid); the height of two sections (including the lid) is approximately 17.6 cm, and the height of three sections (including the lid) is approximately 26 cm.
