Several inscriptions on the undersides of this red lacquer table record that it was originally part of a set consisting of six large and six small tables. Produced in the spring of 1482, the tables were used during a religious ceremony honoring Shinra Myōjin, a Shintō deity associated with Onjōji (also called Miidera), an important temple-shrine complex on the shores of Lake Biwa east of Kyoto. Japan, Asia
