Fifteen antique wooden lacquered confectionery trays in a co-box with stains, discoloration, and damage. The characters on the lid of the co-box are unreadable due to stains and discoloration. On the back, it says "Bunsei Gannen, Tora Shogatsu Kichijitsu" (January, Year of the Tiger, Year 1 of Bunsei), and "Property of Masuda." On the side, it says "Kashibon (confectionery trays) ? Ju Nin Mae" (for ? people), and the "?" looks like the number five. The quantity, such as how many people or how many guests, is usually written on the back of the lid, not the front. However, in this case, the quantity is written on the side. This quantity is questionable. There were 15 trays in the co-box, and it is unclear if this was the original quantity. If the "?" was "go-ju" (fifty), they wouldn't fit, and if it was "ni-ju" (twenty), they would fit, but the "?" doesn't look like "ni" (two). It's unlikely that the "?" was a writing error for "go" (five), "ju" (ten), or "ju-go" (fifteen), so perhaps the "?" is not five. Also, the handwriting and pressure of the owner's name on the back differ from those of the year, and the handwriting of the year seems to differ from that on the side. The contents of the box writing in two places are mysterious. For reference, the Bunsei era (1818-1830) was the late Edo period, and the zodiac sign for the first year of Bunsei was "Tsuchinoe-Tora" (Year of the Earth Tiger). If the confectionery trays are from the first year of Bunsei, they are over 200 years old and are antiques. Due to aging, the co-box has considerable stains, discoloration, and damage, but the confectionery trays are in relatively good condition for their age. There is little dirt or cloudiness, and the luster of the lacquer remains. There are fine scratches and scuffs on the bottom, but there are almost no chips or cracks, and no deformation such as warping. As seen in photo 16, there are slight paint chips on the edges of four trays, and a small paint chip on the body of one tray. There may be oversights, so please forgive any that may exist. There is a symbol like "Ki" in red on the bottom of the confectionery trays. I think it is the mark of a lacquer artist or a painter, or a shop name. There is a possibility of "Wajima-nuri" (Wajima lacquerware), but there are also old lacquerware with a red symbol on the black lacquered bottom other than "Wajima-nuri." The average size (cm) and weight (g) are as follows: Diameter 17.5, height 2 / Weight 92 (in units of 5: 454, 461, 462) / The co-box is 40 long, 20.5 wide, 13 high, and weighs 855 / These are 15 black lacquered confectionery trays. If they are from the first year of Bunsei, they are over 200 years old, and the deterioration is relatively small for their age, and the condition is relatively good. Lacquerware seems to last a considerable amount of time if it is kept out of direct sunlight and extreme dryness and is properly cared for. I cannot provide a clear answer to the mysterious box writing, whether it is from the first year of Bunsei, or whether it is "Wajima-nuri," but they are lacquerware with little deterioration, and please use them for various purposes other than confectionery trays.
