This letter box is in the unique shape of a folded letter. The surface of the cover is horizontally divided by fork lightning. In the upper section, hollyhock leaves are pictured on a vertically striped bamboo-blind ground. In the lower section, rose branches are pictured on a lightning ground. The sides of the box are also decorated with a lightning and rose pattern. The combination of the lightning, bamboo blind and roses evokes a summer mood.
