Lunch Basket Made of Gilded Ornamental Leather (with Lunchbox) 金唐革弁当籠（弁当箱）

A lunch basket with gold-embossed kinkarakawa leatherwork over a bamboo weave on the outside and chintz on the inside. Kinkarakawa and chintz were imported from Europe. By the middle of the Edo period, the culture of cherry blossom viewing spread to the general public, and wealthy people carried bento baskets like the one displayed here.
