Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This octagonal jubako Bento box is the right size for two people and is filled with traditional Yamanaka lacquerware techniques.
The surface is finished with a technique called nuno-bari (cloth-covered), in which the surface is covered with cloth to increase strength and add a fabric pattern, creating a traditional texture.
The lacquer finish is suri-urushi (wiped Lacquer), which means that the black lacquer applied as a base is visible in places under the vermilion lacquer. The balance between red and black coloring changes over time, which is a unique feature of lacquer.
The dividers make it easy to serve, look beautiful, and prevent the flavors from mixing with each other.
It can be carried wrapped in a furoshiki as a bento box, or of course, it can be used as tableware with snacks, sushi, sweets, etc. at the dining table to create an eye-catching table setting. It is also great as a jewelry box or small container displayed on a shelf.

Japanese lacquerware, also called shikki in Japanese, is a proud handicraft with a long history dating back to 5,000 BCE, and traditional methods are still followed today. Durable, light, antibacterial, and robust enough to endure for more than one hundred years, Japanese lacquerware is not only beautiful, but also highly functional.
In addition to the fine Japanese lacquerware found in antique and vintage pieces, there is also contemporary Japanese lacquerware suitable for modern life made by artisans who continue to improve their skills and pass on tradition today.
