Fascinating Fun Facts: • This style of multi-tiered box is called a jubako (重箱), traditionally used to serve New Year’s dishes (osechi ryori) and picnic foods like during cherry blossom viewing (hanami). • Red and gold with fans, plum blossoms, and chrysanthemums are classic celebratory motifs in Japanese design. • Made of molded plastic by San Ai (三愛), a Japanese company active from the 1960s–80s that produced lacquer-style tableware for everyday and festive use. • Plastic jubako became popular after WWII as an affordable alternative to traditional urushi lacquerware.
