Product Details:
This is a high-quality Wajima lacquerware (Wajima-nuri) tiered food box, known as a Jubako, featuring a "Tote-jyu" (carrying handle) design. It is decorated with Shinobu Chinkin (delicate gold-inlaid fern patterns) and finished with a rich cinnabar red lacquer (Uchi-shu) on the inside.
