This two-tiered jubako box features a bokashi-nuri finish, created with a subtle gradation of black and vermilion lacquer.

Its richly elegant appearance makes it an ideal choice for serving osechi dishes, an essential part of the New Year’s celebrations in Japan.

Among lacquer colors, black and vermilion are known for their exceptional beauty and are also said to enhance the visual appeal of food, making dishes appear even more appetizing.

The maki-e decoration depicts cherry blossom petals and autumn leaves gently drifting upon flowing water, creating a graceful sense of movement.

Because the design transitions from spring to winter and back again, this piece can be enjoyed throughout the year. It is perfect not only for serving osechi during the New Year, but also for everyday use on other occasions.
