This is a beautiful set of toso utensils with gold patterns. This set of toso utensils came to light during the clearing out of my husband's family home in Tokyo, about 10 years after his parents passed away, at the ages of 98 and 92, respectively. My husband had also retired and was commuting from our home in Kansai to his family home in Tokyo. There were four sets in total! Set 1: This is a very simple and stylish set, suitable for younger people. I listed it on Mercari last year, but perhaps because it was too late in the season, it didn't sell and remains on Mercari. My mother-in-law spent about 15 years caring for her mother in Kyushu, while we were going back and forth to Europe for long and short periods... We celebrated Christmas in Germany twice, and since we weren't in Japan for the New Year, we thought we should show our children the traditional Japanese New Year's scenery... My husband bought this set because his parents' home was left unattended for many years while my mother-in-law was caring for her mother in Kyushu. After my mother-in-law's parents in Kyushu passed away after more than a decade of care, she returned to Tokyo, but had already begun to suffer from dementia. My husband also left his first job and began working at another while caring for his parents. (I was caring for my parents in the Tohoku region.) After seeing both sets of parents off and time passed, we finally began clearing out my husband's family home in Tokyo. During that time, our lives also changed, and we moved from a detached house to a narrow apartment along an old street in the town to prepare for our old age. Therefore, it was impossible for us to inherit the items left in the family home, and we started using Mercari for this purpose. We decided to keep the oldest set of the four, and the rest will be put up for sale gradually. Set 1: The simplest and most stylish set is the one that was listed last year. I didn't realize there was something so modern and stylish in the family home. Perhaps they bought it because they thought the traditional toso decorations were too difficult as they got older. They bought it, but couldn't use it due to the gap, and it was left unused. I suspect there was no place to display it, as there was a two-tatami-mat alcove and a tatami-matted tokonoma in an eight-tatami-mat room. Set 2: This is the toso set that I am listing this time. Set 3: I will continue to list this set later.
