I have kept this item unused. There are no scratches or stains, but please understand that this is a handmade work by an artist using natural materials. This is a very carefully crafted and beautiful jubako (tiered food box). It's a jubako by Takashi Tomii, which has become difficult to obtain recently. Each part is made by carving out a single piece of wood (not by assembling and attaching wooden boards). Size (stacked and with the lid on) Approximately 13.5cm x 13.5cm x 14.5cm Please refrain from price negotiations. *** The following is a description from the retailer: Takashi Tomii has a workshop in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, where heavy snow falls in winter. He is one of Japan's leading woodworkers, with many works handled overseas. His works, which are handmade one by one, taking advantage of the characteristics of the materials, have a warm expression that fascinates viewers. This is a three-tiered jubako made of chestnut wood with a beautiful, detailed pattern carved with care. The beeswax finish, which makes the most of the simple expression of the wood, is a recommended item for celebrations, festive tables, parties, and other hospitality occasions. #TakashiTomii #Jubako #TakeoKawabata #KazuhiroYamaguchi
