Shunkei lacquerware. The bamboo joints are cool ♡ This is a jubako (tiered food container) used to hold osechi ryori (New Year's dishes) for the New Year's holidays ♡ Jubako are used by stacking tiers, and it is said that they are meant to "stack happiness" ♡ It is one of the traditional Japanese crafts called urushi (lacquerware), and is made by applying paint derived from lacquer trees ♡ In the case of a three-tiered jubako like the one in the image, the top tier generally holds appetizers, the second tier grilled and vinegared dishes, and the third tier simmered dishes ♡ Please purchase only if you understand that this is an antique item ♡ This item has been used once. Please check the photos ♡
