The censer, a vessel used for burning incense, is crafted in a rounded shape and features a lid with intricate cut-out designs, likely inspired by natural forms. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the artistic sensibilities of the late 19th century, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and a connection to traditional Japanese aesthetics.
