Box - Wood - lacquered two-tier box

Good condition. Description: This is a striking Japanese lacquered two-tier box (二重箱, nijūbako) crafted in a rounded, cushion-like form, distinguished by its vivid vermilion (bright red) surface. The exterior is decorated with an elegant gold line pattern that forms a rhythmic, net-like motif wrapping around the entire body and lid. The gold lines radiate outward from a central point on the lid, creating a visual sense of movement and symmetry. The interior is finished in a deep, glossy black lacquer, providing a refined contrast to the exterior’s vivid color. The smooth inner surface reflects light subtly, emphasizing the high-quality lacquering technique. Notably, both the upper and lower rims feature a tin edging (錫縁 / すずぶち / suzu-buchi). This metal reinforcement is both decorative and functional—it protects the lacquer edges from wear and adds a crisp, elegant frame to the rounded form. The combination of bright vermilion lacquer, fine gold maki-e lines, and cool metallic tin edging gives the box an appearance that is both traditional and modern, making it suitable for use as a tea ceremony accessory, jubako-style sweets box, or a decorative display piece. NOTICE
