Thank you for viewing. A three-tiered jubako (lacquered food container) in black and red lacquer, decorated with a nandina (sacred bamboo) berry pattern. I purchased it about 3 years ago for around ¥18,000. The nandina berry design, which symbolizes happiness and prosperity, is considered auspicious. It creates a festive and solemn atmosphere, perfect for adorning the table on special occasions like New Year's. * "Turning hardship into fortune": The word "nandina" (南天) is associated with "nanten" (難転), meaning "to turn misfortune into good fortune." * Amulet against evil: Nandina has been cherished since ancient times as a symbol to ward off misfortune. * Prosperity in business: The flower language includes "profit" and "wealth," expressing a wish for thriving business. * Happiness: The red berries represent "happiness" and "a good home," conveying a wish for happiness. * Symbol of the New Year: The vibrant red berries that ripen in winter are perfect for the image of the New Year and are often used in New Year's decorations. - Color: Black and red lacquer - Design: Floral pattern - Structure: 3-tiered jubako Size: - Material: Lacquer \#MercariHalloween
