Description from the seller
Elegant Black Lacquer Jubako with Floral Maki-e Design – 3-Tiered Japanese Stacked Box
This elegant three-tiered Japanese jubako (stacked lacquer food box) is crafted in black lacquer and beautifully decorated with a refined maki-e design of flowering plants and foliage. The delicate composition features soft pink blossoms, warm brown leaves, fresh green accents, and subtle gold highlights, gracefully arranged across the lid and sides. The flowing vine motif creates a harmonious sense of movement and balance, enhancing the refined aesthetic of the piece.
Traditionally used during celebratory occasions and seasonal gatherings, jubako boxes are essential elements of Japanese dining culture. This example reflects the timeless elegance of lacquer craftsmanship, combining functionality with artistic decoration. The glossy black ground provides a striking contrast to the floral design, allowing the colors and gold accents to stand out vividly.
A refined decorative object as well as a functional serving box, this jubako would make a beautiful addition to a collection of Japanese lacquerware or traditional tableware.
