Japanese Lacquer-Style Jubako Box Set – 3-Tier Camellia & 4-Tier Plum/Bamboo – Showa/Heisei Era - Japan - 20th century

A refined pair of traditional Japanese lacquer-style jubako boxes, each decorated with classic seasonal motifs and crafted during the late Showa to early Heisei period (1980s–1990s). These pieces combine elegant Japanese aesthetics with practical functionality—ideal for collectors of Japanese tableware, display enthusiasts, and those seeking authentic New Year (Osechi) presentation pieces. 1) 3-Tier Jubako (Camellia / Tsubaki motif) – approx. 20 × 20 cm A beautifully decorated black 3-tier “Asuka-style” jubako featuring vivid camellia (tsubaki) blossoms. Made from ABS resin, commonly used for high-grade lacquerware-style wares from the period. Condition Appears to have been used once or very lightly — minor sponge marks, faint water traces. Divider was stored unused. No structural issues; suitable for continued practical use. Minor wear consistent with normal handling. 2) 4-Tier Jubako (Bamboo & Plum Blossoms) – approx. 21 × 21 cm A striking 4-tier black jubako featuring a gold-and-red plum (ume) and bamboo (take) motif—both auspicious symbols traditionally associated with Japanese New Year celebrations. Condition Used a few times during New Year. Small scratches, water marks, and noticeable wear to the gold-painted edges, visible in photos. Solid structure; still fully functional for use or display. Interior in classic vermillion red, all trays clean with expected vintage marks. Estimated Production Period 1980s–1990s (Showa–Heisei transition) Based on material (ABS molded resin), lacquer-style finishing, and decorative technique.
