About Hida Shunkei Lacquerware:
Each piece begins with wood that is naturally dried for 5–6 years. After shaping, it undergoes a multi-step lacquering process—priming, rubbing, and top coating, repeated over 3 to 4 months. The result is a piece that is both visually striking and highly durable, with a unique warmth that only true urushi can achieve.

Care Instructions:
Do not microwave or use in dishwasher.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after gentle washing.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.

An exceptional example of Japanese craftsmanship and minimalist beauty, this jubako is perfect for special occasions, seasonal display, or as an heirloom-quality gift.
