This item was found in an old storage shed at my parents' house. I believe it is an old lacquered tea chest or rice container, but it can be used as a container for dishes or small items. I think it can also be used during the New Year's holidays. The glass is for size comparison. The item for sale is only the rice container. I believe it was probably used from the Meiji to Taisho eras. It is a simple lacquered item, but it is well-made. There are scratches and peeling lacquer, but there is no unpleasant damage, and I think it can be used as a container for small items. I have cleaned it to some extent, but it is a very old item. There are scratches and stains due to aging. Please consider purchasing if you understand that it is an old item. I think it can be used to store small items, tools, dishes, and tableware.
