A striking Noto Wajima-nuri jubako (stacked food box), finished in a deep mirror-black urushi lacquer and decorated with elegant gold chinkin carving—an exceptionally refined technique where lines are cut into the lacquer surface and filled with gold to create a luminous, permanent design. The motif is classic auspicious Japan: a sweeping pine (matsu) with seasonal blossoms and grasses, rendered across the stacked tiers so the picture “connects” when the box is assembled. Open it, and you’re met with a vivid vermilion interior, the traditional contrast prized in formal Japanese tableware. The included compartment tray/dividers make it ideal for Osechi Ryori (New Year cuisine), kaiseki-style presentation, or as a high-end display piece in a lacquerware collection. Estimated period (AD year) Estimated: mid-to-late 20th century (approx. 1960s–1980s). No maker’s label/inscription is visible in the provided photos, so the exact year cannot be guaranteed. Condition Used vintage condition with age-related surface wear (fine scuffs/rubs and small marks visible under light). The wooden storage box shows notable wear and patina consistent with age. Overall, it remains a highly attractive lacquer set with strong display presence.
