This is a confectionery container from "Sakata Shikki-ten," a long-established Jōbōji lacquerware shop. According to the leaflet, it appears to be a product made using domestic Jōbōji lacquer. The natural wood base is thick and substantial. The bowl has a beautiful shape. It features a glossy black lacquer exterior and a black-and-vermilion interior. The lacquer has been applied repeatedly, dried, and polished to finish. When you hold it, you can feel the smooth, tactile sensation of the lacquer. It is an unused item that has been stored. It comes in a dedicated box with a leaflet. The white areas in the photos are reflections of light on the lacquer.
