Red Running Water Two Tiers Jubako Bento Box with Handle

This two-tiered Jubako Bento box is convenient for carrying around. The chic red color with a gold-painted pattern expresses graceful elegance.

The pattern depicting cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in fall is called the "Shunju (Spring and Autumn)" pattern. This design can be used regardless of the season, overlaying the wonderful sentiment that spring and autumn come at the same time, which is impossible to achieve in reality.

It is recommended for special events or when inviting guests, as it renders the table a gorgeous and traditional Japanese atmosphere.

In Japan, it is common to eat a festive dish called "Osechi" at New Year's, which is often served in a Jubako. You can carry Jubako around to the house where the gathering takes place on New Year's Day. You can also take it with you when you eat outside, such as for "Hanami"(cherry-blossom viewing).

To clean, wipe it with a wet cloth when it gets dirty. It can be quickly rinsed with water, but please make sure to wipe it dry thoroughly.

Echizen lacquerware originated around the city of Sabae in Fukui Prefecture, in the northern part of Japan. With a history going back more than 1,500 years, it is known for its subdued luster and elegant beauty. It is produced by experienced artisans, each specializing in one step of the production process.

Along with the changing lifestyles of Japanese people and market needs, creators of Echizen lacquerware have developed diversified products and created technology for mass production. Today, more than 80% of the lacquerware for domestic food industry and business use comes from Echizen. This is a region that is not only home to centuries of tradition, but also reinventing itself through innovation.
