【Experience the Elegance of Japanese Tradition: Aizu Lacquerware Set】 ■ History & Origin This exquisite lacquerware set, featuring a 3-tier Jubako (food box) and a Tosogu (ceremonial sake set), hails from Aizu-Wakamatsu, Fukushima prefecture—a region celebrated for over 400 years of lacquerware excellence. The set is adorned with Maki-e (sprinkled gold powder) depicting "Flying Cranes" (Tsuru) over "Waves" (Nami). In Japanese culture, the crane is a sacred symbol of longevity and 1,000 years of happiness, while the waves represent the eternal flow of life. Crafted from natural wood and finished with genuine Urushi lacquer, this set embodies the high quality that Aizu artisans are famous for. ■ Condition Overall, the set is in good vintage condition and retains its brilliant deep black luster and golden details. Important Note: There is one small chip on the rim of one of the Jubako tiers. Please refer to the detailed close-up photos for a clear view of this area. The set shows minor signs of age-appropriate wear, such as faint surface scratches and slight lacquer thinning at the edges, which adds to its authentic vintage character. It comes with its original storage boxes and manufacturer’s leaflets, proving its provenance as genuine Aizu lacquerware. ■ Dimensions Tray: 40 cm x 27 cm Jubako (Box): [ここに重箱の縦・横・高さもあれば記入] cm ■ Weight Net Weight : approx. 2500 g Double-Box Packaging: To ensure the safety of these delicate Urushi items during international transit, I will use a double-box (two-layered) packaging method with ample cushioning.
