This exceptionally large rinzu (damask) silk fukusa, dating to the Meiji period (1868–1912), is a magnificent representation of abundance and good fortune. Measuring an impressive 41 inches by 44 inches (104 cm x 112 cm), the textile is dominated by a central takarabune (treasure bag) rendered through expert yuzen-dyeing and delicate embroidery.

The bag is depicted as being so full of sacred objects that they spill over its edges. Visible treasures include coral branches (sangoju), the lucky mallet (uchide no kozuchi), and various precious jewels, all symbols of the Seven Lucky Gods. The deep indigo rinzu silk ground features a woven jacquard-like pattern of auspicious flowers and fans, which creates a subtle play of matte and lustrous surfaces. The bag itself is crafted from a contrasting ivory silk with its own woven floral motifs, tied with a prominent red cord. The piece remains in very good condition, showcasing the technical precision of late 19th-century Japanese textile arts.
