This elegant compact set—featuring a pagoda and sakura motif—is distinguished by its chōkin-engraved accents, where fine lines carve depth into metal surfaces. The scene is brought to life not through mass printing or simple painting, but through the delicate engraving that reflects light and shadow with subtle grace. The accompanying fan-shaped mirror mirrors this craftsmanship, recalling a time when everyday ritual and artistry walked hand in hand in mid-Shōwa Japan.
