Japanese Lacquer 3-Tier Traditional Lunch Boxes Jubako 8.7inch Gold Kaioke Makie MA745
This is an elegant three-tier jubako (stacked food box) crafted in Wajima lacquerware during the Meiji era. Made of wood and finished with black and vermilion lacquer, it features a finely detailed gold makie design of a kaioke (shell box) motif, a traditional symbol associated with wedding celebrations and good fortune. The lacquer surface displays a rich, glossy finish characteristic of Wajima craftsmanship, while the gold makie work is precisely rendered, highlighting the artisan’s skill and attention to detail. Jubako boxes like this were traditionally used to serve and present food during special occasions, and today they are highly valued as decorative pieces and collectibles. This set comes complete with its original wooden storage box, ensuring safe preservation and enhancing its display appeal. Well-preserved with light wear consistent with age, it is an excellent choice for collectors of Japanese lacquerware, cultural artifacts, or fine tableware.
