I have kept this item unused. There are no scratches or stains, but please understand that this is a handmade work by an artist using natural materials. This is a very carefully crafted and beautiful jubako (tiered food box). It's a jubako by Takashi Tomii, which has become difficult to obtain recently. Each part is made by carving out a single piece of wood (not by assembling and attaching wooden boards). Size (when stacked and with the lid on) Approximately 21cm x 13.5cm x 11.5cm Please refrain from price negotiations. *** The following is a description from the seller: Takashi Tomii has a workshop in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, where heavy snow falls in winter. He is one of Japan's leading woodworkers, with many works handled overseas. His works, made by hand carving each piece, take advantage of the characteristics of the material and captivate viewers with their warm expressions. This is a three-tiered jubako made of chestnut wood with incredibly beautiful, finely carved patterns. The beeswax finish, which makes the most of the simple wooden appearance, is a superb item recommended for celebrations, festive tables, parties, and other hospitality occasions. #TakashiTomii #Jubako #TakeoKawabata #KazuhiroYamaguchi
