I believe this is a lacquerware sweet dish. Only one piece. Size: Approximately 16cm x 12cm, height approximately 1.3cm. It's black lacquered (dark purplish-black) with colorful cherry blossoms and maple leaves painted on it. I received it and stored it in a box in the cupboard for a long time, but it's in beautiful condition. (The box is also in beautiful condition.) The back is marked "NEC," and since it only came with an English instruction manual, I think it was a souvenir for foreigners. The details are unknown, but the English instruction manual that was inside was translated by Google as follows: 〈Photo 4, Top〉 Urushi (lacquerware) The English word "Japan" has two meanings. One is the country itself, "Japan." The other meaning is "lacquer," "to apply lacquer," or "lacquerware." There are only a few examples of specific crafts being called by the country's name, such as "Japan" for lacquerware and "China" for ceramics. "Lacquerware" is a wonderful lacquer that developed in the East, especially in Japan, and what the word means is that "lacquerware" is a traditional craft that represents Japan. 〈Photo 4, Bottom〉 How to care for lacquerware Handling lacquerware is extremely simple. After use, you can use either fresh water or warm water. You don't have to worry about either water. There is no possibility of the paint peeling off. After washing, wipe off the moisture repeatedly with a soft cloth (cotton) and dry completely. To maintain a completely dry state, avoid direct sunlight and continuous drying. To prevent it from moving around in the box, I will wrap it in washi paper over the existing wrapping paper (Photo 1), put the box in a plastic bag for waterproofing, and send it by sealed letter. Shipping will be via Yu-Yu Mercari or Rakuraku Mercari. Please note that this is a personal inspection and home storage, so there may be oversights of small stains or scratches. I would appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment.
