This is a card from a set that does not seem to turn up much, it deals with items in the Royal Palaces and Households, many of which are still there today.

This very cabinet can be seen at the Royal Collection Trust website though the base seems very much lighter than it appears on the card

Mount Fujiyama has always been a popular subject for lacquerwork, and remains so today. This is possiby because of its mysticism but also in a commercial world many travellers visit the mountain or gaze at it fromĀ  ground level, so including it results in more sales.
