Furniture by Maple Company (Tangible Cultural Property designated by the City of Kyoto) [Houou Room]
Several pieces of furniture made by Maple remain in the museum, many of which are also designated as Tangible Cultural Properties of Kyoto City.
The wood decoration is inlaid, with lines carved and then inlaid with other shades of wood to create a delicate pattern.
The furniture on the left hand side was used as a wardrobe with two large full-length portraits, while the furniture on the right hand side was used as a washbasin at that time.
The vanity is covered with tile and marble on the top to protect it from getting wet.
