Vtg Japanese Lacquerware Bento Box Jubako
This is a set of two Japanese vintage lacquered wooden five-tier lunch boxes (Jubako). The boxes are brown on the outside, red on the inside, and black with a red character on the bottom. Each tier has two compartments to separate the food. These two lunch boxes come in a wooden lacquer-brushed storage box. The storage box has a traditional design where the box is opened from the front thanks to a panel that slides up completely. The front panel has a character painted on it. It has a metal handle to facilitate transport and a hole at the back to help when pulling the lunch boxes out.
