This is a lacquerware item called Ouchi-nuri, a traditional craft of Yamaguchi Prefecture. It's a two-tiered writing box containing a small inkstone, ink stick, and a small brush. It was at my parents' house. It seems it was used several times for writing on congratulatory envelopes, etc. ◇Size: Length: approx. 18 cm, Width: approx. 6 cm Overall Height: approx. 4.5 cm Height of one tier: approx. 2 cm ◇Accessories: Inkstone, ink stick, small brush, water container (photo 5) ◇Lacquerware ◆It has been washed, but there are ink stains in places.
