Nunome Line Yamanaka Lacquerware Square Bento Box
This Square Bento Box is filled with the traditional techniques of Yamanaka Lacquerware. It can be used as a lunch box for one person, or to put sushi rolls or Japanese sweets to share with others, or to keep a container for seasonings, etc., and serve it at the table.
It is made with a technique of coating black and red lacquer and then polishing a part of it to show the color underneath, which gives a unique texture to the piece.
"Nunome" is a lacquering technique in which a cloth is applied to the wood and lacquer is applied on top of the cloth to bring out the pattern. This technique is stronger and more durable than ordinary lacquering.
Its timeless traditional design is suitable for long-term use, daily use or when entertaining guests.
