The image depicts a traditional Japanese writing box set, known as a "suzuribako", designed for the preparation and use of ink for calligraphy or writing. The box is rectangular and consists of two main sections. On the left side, there is a larger tray adorned with intricate artwork showing a scene of a man walking behind an ox, along with a tree and branches with leaves. This scene is rendered in gold and brown tones, typical of lacquer work.

On the right side of the box, there are several compartments. The central compartment holds a stone inkwell, known as an "inkstone," which is used for grinding ink sticks with water to create liquid ink. Above the inkstone, there is a small ornamental object resembling a book, likely used as a rest for brushes or as part of the inkstone's cover. To the right of the inkstone compartment is a narrower section, which is empty except for lacquer decorations that match the style of the larger tray.
