A jubako is a traditional Japanese stacking lacquered box used for food presentation and storage.
Jubako are most often used during new year’s celebrations to store and serve
traditional Japanese foods, called osechi ryori. The tradition started in the Heian Period (794-1185).
However this is no ordinary jubako- a rare surviving signed red lacquer form that is hard to find.
