This type of decoration in contrasting fields of black and gold filled with floral motifs such as the chrysanthemum and paulownia is associated with the Kodai-ji temple, where a memorial shrine was dedicated to the shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi by his widow in 1605 or 1606. Appreciated for its colorful effects and naturalistic drawing, the Kodai-ji style continued in use well into the Edo period.
