Schrijfdoos ‘Waaier met een portret van Ariwara no Narihira’
Here we see the portrait of a courtier on an open fan. His robe and hat are made of lead. This is the famous poet Ariwara no Narihira, who lived in the 9th century. This work is a 20th-century copy of a famous 18th-century  lacquer box: a tribute to one of the founders of the Rinpa style.
