Five-compartment jubako box, Japan, circa 1920-1940.
This jubako consists of five stacked modules, each with two lids. These jubako are food boxes reserved for major holidays such as New Year's or Tango no Sekku, the boys' festival.
The decoration is of very high quality, applied with gold powder and leaf, with vermillion highlights on a deep black lacquer. The lobster and symbolic plants are depicted.
Little used during the year, carefully stored in their original protective box, these jubako have retained exceptional condition.
Dimensions: 22 cm wide, 23 cm long. Stack of three compartments + lid: 24 cm high; stack of two + lid: 14 cm.
