This is a set of 15 antique wooden lacquered confectionery trays in a shared box, showing signs of dirt, discoloration, and damage. The characters on the lid of the shared box are unreadable due to dirt and discoloration. On the back, it reads "Bunsei Gannen, Tora Shogatsu Kichijitsu" (January, Year of the Tiger, Bunsei era), and "Property of Masuda." On the side, it says "Kashibon (confectionery trays) ? Ju Nin Mae" (for ? people), where the "?" looks like the number five. The quantity, such as the number of people or guests, is usually written on the back of the lid, not the front. However, in this case, the quantity is written on the side, along with the name of the item. This quantity is questionable. There were 15 trays in the shared box, and it is unclear if this was the original quantity. If the "?" represents "go-ju" (fifty), they wouldn't fit, but if it's "ni-ju" (twenty), they would. However, the "?" doesn't look like "ni" (two). It's unlikely that the "?" is a miswriting of "go" (five), "ju" (ten), or "ju-go" (fifteen), so perhaps the "?" is not five. Also, the handwriting and pressure of the owner's name on the back differ from those of the year, and the handwriting of the year seems different from that on the side. The writing on the box in two places is mysterious. For reference, the Bunsei era (1818-1830) was the late Edo period, and the zodiac sign for Bunsei Gannen (the first year of Bunsei) was "Tsuchinoe-Tora" (Year of the Earth Tiger). If the confectionery trays are from Bunsei Gannen, they are over 200 years old and are antiques. Due to aging, the shared box has considerable dirt, discoloration, and damage, but the confectionery trays are in relatively good condition for their age. There is little dirt or cloudiness, and the luster of the lacquer remains. There are fine scratches and scuffs on the bottom, but there are almost no chips or cracks, and no deformation such as warping. As seen in photo 16, there is some slight damage to the edges of four trays, and a small area of paint is missing on one tray. Please forgive any oversights. There is a symbol like "Ki" in red on the bottom of the confectionery trays. I believe this is the mark of a lacquer artist or a lacquerer, or perhaps a shop name. There is a possibility that it is "Wajima-nuri" (Wajima lacquerware), but there are also old lacquered items with a red symbol on a black lacquered bottom other than "Wajima-nuri." The average size (cm) and weight (g) are as follows: Diameter 17.5, height 2 / Weight 92 (in units of 5: 454, 461, 462) / The shared box is 40cm long, 20.5cm wide, 13cm high, and weighs 855g / This is a set of 15 black lacquered confectionery trays. If they are from Bunsei Gannen, they are over 200 years old, and the condition is relatively good with little deterioration for their age. Lacquerware seems to last a considerable amount of time if it is properly cared for, avoiding direct sunlight and extreme dryness. Although I cannot provide a clear answer to the mysterious box writing, whether it is from Bunsei Gannen, or whether it is "Wajima-nuri," these are lacquered items with little deterioration, and can be used for various purposes other than confectionery trays.
