Description from the seller

This is a traditional Japanese maki-e lacquerware three-tiered box, a common food container in Japanese cuisine, and also usable as a storage box. The box is crafted with black lacquer using the maki-e technique, adorned with elegant calla lily patterns and accented with gold and colored powder.
