Mid-19th century jūbako by Shibata Zeshin, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York

Jūbako ( 重箱, lit. "tiered boxes") are tiered boxes used to hold and present food in Japan. [1] The boxes are often used to hold osechi, foods traditional to the Japanese New Year, [2] or to hold takeaway lunches, or bento.

A sagejū (提重, lit. "portable jūbako") or sagejūbako (提げ重箱), is a picnic set of jūbako in a carrier with handle. [3]

There is also jikirō (食籠, lit. "food basket"), a kind of chinese styled bowl, [4] some stackable like jūbako. [5]
