Picnicking under cherry blossoms or fall leaves has been a popular pastime in Japan for centuries. This picnic set includes nested food boxes and trays in a transportable case. It is decorated with circles of various flora, each one representing a different season.

The other image present in solid gold is the Go-Shichi Kiri mon, or 5-7 Paulownia crest. This emblem was adopted and made popular by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536 – 1598), one of the great unifiers of feudal Japan. During the Edo period, use of the Go-Shichi Kiri mon was tightly controlled by the government. Today it is still used to represent the elected government and Prime Minister of Japan.
