Japanese Lacquered 重箱Jubako – Black Urushi 漆with Autumn Maki-e 蒔絵Design A refined Japanese lacquered jubako (tiered food box), beautifully finished in deep black urushi and decorated with elegant maki-e style autumn grasses and flowers. The lid features a delicate circular brush motif in gold, enclosing seasonal plants rendered in fine gold and colored lacquer. Around the body, graceful autumn flora—such as susuki grass and pink blossoms—are depicted with subtle detailing, creating a harmonious and poetic composition. This two-tier jubako embodies traditional Japanese aesthetics, celebrating the beauty of the seasons. Originally used for serving festive foods during special occasions, it can also serve today as a decorative object, tea ceremony accessory, or sophisticated storage piece. The glossy lacquer surface enhances the depth of the black ground and highlights the intricate decoration. A charming example of Japanese craftsmanship that combines functionality with refined artistic expression. ⸻ Size Height: 12.5 cm Width: 17.5 cm Depth: 17.5 cm ⸻ Weight 750 g / 0.75 kg ⸻ Condition Good vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age and use.
