We are pleased to present this luxury stacked box with cranes in maki-e lacquer produced in 1897. We will ship it in sturdy packaging as it is a luxury item. *Please note the shipping cost. This is a beautifully designed stacked box with gold decoration on the surface of elegant black Urushi lacquer, which is unique to this period.It is lacquered in lacquer, not in gaudy gold.

The surface of the vessel is coated with lacquer using a fine brush, and gold powder is sprinkled on the surface before it hardens to reveal a pattern.
