Lee Yu-Kuan writes in Oriental Lacquer Art, that lacquer cabinets were 'used by high officials for storing the clothing and accessories required for their appearances before the emperor or their superiors. Hats and other headdresses were kept in the top section, while the main part of the cabinet contained court costumes and various accessories.'
