The red lacquered zelkova wood cabinet, recorded in the Todaiji Temple Donation Book dated June 21, 756, contained Empress Komyo's handwritten Rakugiron, as well as a scepter and a rhinoceros horn sake cup, and the Rokushu cabinet, made during the Tenpyo Shoho era (749-757) and placed in the Great Buddha Hall of Todaiji Temple, was recorded as having sutras and treatises and miscellaneous items placed on shelves inside.

Both cabinets are long, box-shaped cabinets with a single shelf inside, and are assumed to have been typical of cabinets from the Nara period.
