This is an antique, fully boxed, three-tiered confectionery cabinet with a red-lacquered finish and a handle, exuding a strong sense of antiquity. The red lacquer is a type of urushi lacquer; please refer to the internet for details. The paulownia wood box shows signs of age, with dirt and discoloration, but its lid bears the inscription "Ikkan Beni-dame Kashi-dansu" (Ikkan Red Lacquer Confectionery Cabinet) and the mark "Kyukyudo," which will be explained below. Inside the box is a beautifully shaped, vibrant three-tiered confectionery cabinet with a handle, closer to reddish-brown than pure red, which is hard to imagine from the aged box. The material is likely paulownia wood. The surface is red-lacquered with a hegi-me (uneven) finish. The drawer knobs are white plum-shaped fasteners with leather cords, and the surfaces other than the front are black lacquered. The bottom has a red mark "Kyo," the same character as the first character of the inscription on the box lid. The confectionery cabinet has almost no stains, scratches, dents, or deformations, and the drawers open and close smoothly.

He was born in Osaka and is also known as "Naniwa Ikkan." He was a tea ceremony lacquerer specializing in Ikkan-bari. "Kyukyudo" is his art name. The first "Yoshida Ikkan" was a craftsman in Osaka during the late Edo period who made sword scabbards. The 2nd and 3rd generations have few or no works. The 4th generation left behind works, and the 5th generation was expected to be a lacquerer but died in the war, ending the line at the 4th generation. The 4th generation's daughter is said to be protecting the works left by her ancestors.
