The box called "Sinko" contains incense sticks of camphor and other fragrances. The vibrant scene of bamboo and maple trees along mountain paths is depicted in the ninth section of "Ise Monogatari" by the artist who created it. This artist's ability to suggest a story with the minimum of motifs is a characteristic feature of painting during the medieval period.
沈箱は沈香などの香木をいれる小箱。山道に繁茂する蔦や楓の様子から、宇津山の蔦や楓が茂る細道の場面を描く『伊勢物語』第九段を意匠化した意匠であることが窺えます。最小限のモチーフで物語を暗示する手法は、中世に好まれた蒔絵意匠の特徴の一つです。

Article 2 sets five conditions, all of which must hold: it is used mainly in daily life, the main part of its making is by hand, it is made by traditional techniques, it is made chiefly from materials traditionally used, and a not-small number of people in a defined area still make it. The designation names the techniques, the materials and the region.
The cool part. Two conditions do quiet work. The first is daily use, so a technique kept alive only for display does not qualify. The fifth is the number of makers: the law will not protect a single surviving genius, because one person is a biography and not an industry. And because the region is written into the designation, the craft is legally attached to a place and cannot move.
