This is an elegant two-tier Japanese lacquerware box, traditionally known as a Ju-bako. It features a classic black lacquer finish decorated with the auspicious "Sho-Chiku-Bai" (Three Friends of Winter) motif: Pine, Bamboo, and Plum blossoms. In Japanese culture, these symbols represent longevity, resilience, and the beauty of renewal. While traditionally used for festive meals, this versatile box is perfect for modern lifestyles and creative uses: Jewelry & Accessory Case: The two tiers are perfect for organizing watches, necklaces, or larger jewelry pieces. The smooth lacquer finish adds a touch of luxury to your dresser. Interior Decor & Storage: A stunning decorative accent for any room. It can be used as a stylish "catch-all" box for stationery, keys, or sewing kits, blending traditional Japanese art with modern interior design. Outdoor & Home Dining: A sophisticated way to serve appetizers, sweets, or sushi at dinner parties, or as a stylish bento box for picnics and garden parties. The interior is finished in a vibrant vermillion red, creating a beautiful contrast with the gold and silver-toned exterior design. The box is in good vintage condition and comes with its original cardboard protective box. Condition: Good vintage condition with minor age-related wear. Please refer to the photos for a detailed look at the surface and lacquer finish.
