Sake cup with maki-e design of Fuji River

This wine cup is considered to be one of the famous landscape series cups, received from the shogun family.
It depicts people being ferried across the Fuji River in hira maki-e (flat sprinkled metal decoration) on the vermilion lacquered interior surface. The Tokugawa shogunate didn’t allow to build bridges over the major rivers for military reasons in those days.
On the exterior, it bears a maki-e inscription, which reads ‘可交斎 (Kakosai)’, inside the footring.
