    Dōmoto Shikken made octagonal trays with floral designs over a long period of time but this piece likely dates from around the same period as another tray that he exhibited at the Tenth Nitten Exhibition in 1954, see Nittenshi Hensan Iinkai (Nittenshi Editorial Committee), Nittenshi 18 (History of the National Salon 18), Nitten hen 3 (The Nitten Exhibition 3), Shōwa 29nen–Shōwa 30nen (1954–1955), Tokyo, Nitten, 1987, p. 290, no. 245.
