【Showa Retro】 Lacquered Rice Tub with Dragonfly and Grass Decoration, includes Rice Paddle

This is a black and red lacquered *ohitsu* (rice container) adorned with beautiful dragonfly and grass decorations.
The pattern is very elegant.
It comes with a removable plastic inner bowl and a rice paddle.

Received as a commemorative gift in 1983 (Showa 58).
It is unused, but there are some storage-related stains.
The plastic inner bowl is not damaged, but its condition regarding deterioration is unknown.
It is also unclear if it is microwave-safe.
Additionally, the bottom has the date of the commemoration and a surname written on it.
While it may not be used as an *ohitsu* in today's era,
it features a Japanese design with black lacquer, a lid, and a dragonfly pattern.
How about using it for collection purposes or as retro interior decor?

Please consider this item if you do not mind the above.
