Yazaemon Red Circle Pattern Two Tiers Jubako Bento Box

This is a porcelain two-tiered jubako bento box adorned with circular patterns in red and gold. The design is not only suitable for festive occasions such as New Year's but is also practical for everyday use. The box comes with a lid, allowing for convenient storage in the refrigerator, and it's also microwave-safe, so you can heat it directly. Given its modest size, it's ideally suited for two people.

You can pack it with food for lunch, fill it with snacks or appetizers for parties, or even use it for desserts during afternoon tea. As it is easy to clean, it's very convenient for various uses.

The design is a compilation of auspicious symbols including pine, bamboo, plum, crane, blue sea waves, thunder, peony, and longevity motifs, all drawn within the circular patterns. The combination of pine, bamboo, and plum, often referred to as the "Three Friends of Winter," represents an auspicious pattern for celebratory occasions.

The pine, symbolizing divine presence, stays evergreen and long-lived. Bamboo stays green through winter, and plum flowers bloom in snow. Cranes represent longevity, sea waves prosperity, and thunder patterns with peonies ward off evil. These motifs enrich celebratory occasions with auspicious meaning.
