Okinawan lacquerware, a lidded food container/sweets dish from Benbo (紅房). The lid features a bitter melon (goya) design created using the Tsuikin (堆錦) technique. It comes in a wooden storage box. Diameter: 24 cm (8 sun sweets dish). ※Attention: ⚠️ This item is only listed on Mercari. Benbo was a long-established lacquerware shop that produced beautiful art using techniques like Tsuikin and modern designs. It closed in 2001, much to the regret of many, making it a phantom manufacturer. It still has many fans, and items in good condition are considered valuable. I have kept it with care, but I would like to pass it on while it is still beautiful. Although it is a sweets dish, I mainly used it for display. As it has been stored by a private individual, there may be minor scratches. Please check the photos and purchase accordingly. Accessories: Original box (aged), pamphlet, etc. #Benbo #Benbou #RyukyuLacquerware #RyukyuNuri #SweetsDish #Tsuikin #OkinawanTraditionalCrafts
