The Mokko style handles also feature Chrysanthemum back plates. It was constructed using straight dovetail joinery and hardened wood nails.

The hinged door covers three small drawers behind and the lift-up side handles allowed for a wood or bamboo pole to go through it where two attendants could easily carry this chest from place to place.
