Description

This is an antique Japanese two level food box known as a
Jubako
made of Japanese
sugi
(cryptomeria) wood in the Taisho (c. 1920). Both levels nest together with a lid that fits nicely on top.
It is well made with all wooden pin construction and has its original 20 coats of Japanese lacquer finish. There is a black lacquer on the outsides of the box, red lacquer on the insides and the rims. It comes with it's original lid to cover the food when served. This Jubako originally had three layers but the middle box was lost to time. It comes with the original wood pin construction box.
Having been used lovingly and stored for most of that past century, it remains in
good
condition
. Note some minor nicks and chips of the original lacquer finish (see picture 5). A box with a lid measures about 7 3/4" by 7 1/2" by 2 3/4" tall (19.5 x 19 x 7 cm). Stacked together, these boxes measure 7" (17.75cm) high. These would make a great storage box or useful for party food or an elegant meal.
