Thank you for viewing. This is a sturdy wooden box, likely lacquered. There are some areas where the lacquer is peeling or stained. I believe it's quite old. Due to the lacquer and material, and the somewhat unrefined finish, I suspect it's not made in Japan, but rather a folk craft item. Would this be a good addition to a collection for those who love retro items? Thank you for your understanding.
