Description from the seller
This is a vintage Japanese 5-tier lacquered food box (Jubako) featuring a prominent gold landscape design on the lid.
The lid displays a detailed scene in gold depicting mountains, pine trees, birds, and a boat, which creates a striking contrast against the dark lacquer background.
It comes with the original wooden storage box. The wooden box features a family crest (Kamon) of crossed hawk feathers on the front. The underside of the wooden lid has old Japanese ink calligraphy.
The set consists of 5 stackable tiers. It is a substantial piece suitable for use or display.
Please refer to the photos for the gold design details and condition. As this is a vintage item, there are signs of wear, scratches, and aging on both the wooden box and the lacquered layers.
