Thank you for viewing. This is from a box I'm clearing out. According to the booklet inside, it's Kyoto lacquerware built on a thousand years of tradition. It says Zohiko, 9th generation Hikoemon Nishimura. *According to an online search, the 10th generation is currently in charge? It's unused, but I've opened it for photography. The outer box has some deterioration due to long-term storage. Please consider this as a used item, and understand that we do not accept claims or returns. Please consider this with the understanding that we will arrange shipping using an inexpensive method.
