This is a food container with a striking black lacquer finish and a gold-leaf chrysanthemum and paulownia crest, which I found at home. I believe my mother collected and kept it. It is a work by Issha Chahira, a lacquer artist of Wajima-nuri. The box has some sun damage and stains, but the food container itself is in beautiful condition. I hope someone will make good use of it. ■Size Diameter: Approximately 21.5 cm, Height: 11.2 cm
