A pair of black lacquered wooden hokai 行器 (covered portable food containers) of traditional shape.
The cylindrical shape of the containers is accentuated by ribbed sides and elevated by four elegant spreading feet. The edges and feet are embellished with engraved gilded brass fittings displaying scrolling foliage.
The interior is also coated with a glossy black lacquer finish.
Completing the ensemble, the hokai are embellished with green silk cords and delicate tassels.
Period: Japan – Early Shôwa period (Second quarter 20th century).
Dimensions:
Height 41 cm, Diameter 38 cm.
They are in a good original condition with traces of wear conform age. Like lacquer loss along the inner rim of the cover. For a clear condition reference, please refer to the photos.
Hokai boxes have been utilized in various ways in Japan throughout tradition. Their prominent purpose is as portable food containers for travel, akin to lunch boxes. Lacquerware, known for its insect-repelling and moisture-resistant properties, helps preserve the food for extended periods. Additionally, these boxes served a lesser-known function: storing and transporting shells for the Kai-awase game during the Edo and Meiji Periods.
The last photos shows how they were used as food storage.
