This box is built on a hon-katachi ground, the strong traditional foundation of urushi mixed with powdered clay, then hand-coated and finished with migaki (polished) maki-e. Pine, bamboo and plum, the \"Three Friends of Winter\", are a classic motif for celebrations, and a jubako like this is used above all for the New Year osechi feast, though it is equally handsome holding sweets or on display. The 6.5-sun size suits a small household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Shoho (正峰), Echizen lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: wood, hand-applied urushi over hon-katachi ground, polished maki-e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: black exterior, vermilion interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 19.8 × 19.8 × 19.3 cm (three tiers with lid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox: wooden box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatch: how Echizen lacquerware is made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA TEWAZA craft film showing Echizen lacquerware techniques, from Japan Traditional Crafts Aoyama Square.
