A lacquered Makie tobacco box design of a crow, rising sun and pines

At first I was attracted by the design of a crow. And then I noticed that the rising sun can be seen different color by several angles. Color of the gold and fine Makie work of crow are not usual level and all is of fine quality. It is simple, but is the good work which is attracted whenever I look.
