About this piece

A little tree in gold on black, and four boxes that stack like a tower.

This jubako, or tiered food box, was made in wood in Japan in the 19th century. Boxes of this kind are commonly associated with holidays and outings, with each tier holding a different dish. Black lacquer covers the sides, and gold decoration shows a bare plum-like branch with blossoms on one side and bamboo leaves near the base. A carrying handle arches above the lid. The finish is worn and soft.

About 9 inches tall. It looks like it was built for a feast and a good story.
