Exquisite Set of Two Double-Tiered Jubako (4 Tiers Total)
This is a stunning example of Japanese lacquerware from the Mid-Showa period (mid-20th century). These tiered food boxes, known as Jubako, feature a classic and elegant "Uchi-shu" (vermilion interior) finish, creating a beautiful contrast with the deep black exterior.

The lids and sides are decorated with intricate Gold and Silver Makie (sprinkled powder) depicting auspicious symbols:

Cranes (Tsuru): Representing longevity and fidelity.

Pine Needles (Matsu): Symbolizing endurance and eternal life.

Folding Fans (Sensu): Signifying prosperity and a flourishing future.

This set includes two matching double-tiered boxes (four tiers in total), making it a rare and versatile find for hosting or as a high-end decorative display. It comes with its original wooden storage box (Tomobako), ensuring its authenticity and preservation.
