Vintage, Antique. A vermilion lacquered jubako (tiered food box), decorated with maki-e, a traditional Japanese technique. This is a traditional lunch box mainly used for special occasions such as osechi (New Year's dishes), cherry blossom viewing, and picnics. Features: Color and Material: It is painted with a vibrant vermilion lacquer, and in many cases, the inside is painted black or another shade of vermilion. It is often made of natural wood. Technique: The gold and black patterns are created using the "maki-e" decorative technique, which involves drawing a picture with lacquer and then sprinkling gold powder on it. The circular patterns seen in the image may be traditional Japanese motifs (such as pine, bamboo, plum, crane, and turtle). Usage: This multi-tiered jubako is also called "oju" and is suitable for carrying multiple types of dishes at the same time. Nowadays, it is also being reconsidered as a daily-use lunch box.
