This is lacquerware made primarily in Kawatsura-machi, Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture, a traditional craft that has been around since the Kamakura period. I believe it cost over 10,000 yen when I purchased it. It's simple but has a very high-class feel. I will wrap it in cushioning material, place it in a waterproof vinyl bag, and then put it in an envelope for shipping.
