Acquired from an antique shop. This is a confectionery container used in tea ceremonies. The size is approximately 23.5 x 23.5 cm, and it is characterized by the distinctive "komatsunagi" pattern on the top and bottom, and its very light weight. It seems to be mainly used for placing dried sweets. The surface is clean with no noticeable scratches. There is some dirt on the corners of the back (adhesive tape residue?). Also, a mark was attached with tape. The description paper stated that the purchaser bought it in 1986, but it was written in pencil and has been erased. Please feel free to comment if you have any other questions. :)
