This is a very old item. I understand it was purchased at Echigoya, the predecessor of Mitsukoshi. The accompanying box has some scratches and chipped lacquer due to age, but the main body is in very beautiful condition. It's in near-new condition. The black lacquer with mother-of-pearl powder is beautiful. This is a four-tiered lacquerware jubako (tiered food box), with a beautiful black and red color scheme and gold leaf decoration. It would be nice to display it as an object, but I think it would also be useful for various things like Japanese sweets and delicacies. It's perfect for arranging food for the Doll Festival (Hinamatsuri).
