The decoration of this suzuribako is set against a wood surface. Haritsu specialised in the combination of unusual materials such as pottery, bone, lacquer, shell and wood. His sophisticated taste and modern approach appealed to literati circles in the eighteenth century, and he served as both artist and artistic adviser to the daimyo Tsugaru Nobuhisa (1669-1746).
