A special display is scheduled from 15 September to 13 November.
The furnishings are identified as maki-e wedding objects under the name ‘Kikushiratsuyu,’ or ‘Chrysanthemum White Dew.’ They were the bridal objects of Ōhime, described by the museum as the elder sister-in-law of Chiyohime.
The museum characterizes the furnishings through a design of silver dew drops falling on chrysanthemums blooming in the field. It also describes them as an older-sister-like presence to the National Treasure ‘Hatsune’ furnishings.
