Masterpiece - Sendai Eiraku Vermilion Lacquer Box - Taisho to early Showa period / Art craft connecting families

This is a writing box made of Sendai Tsuishu (Eiraku Tsuishu), which was gifted by my grandmother to my mother (who was born in 1921 and was 15 years old at the time) approximately 90 years ago, around 1935.

A handwritten note from my mother remains, stating that it was a gift from a friend in Sendai for her wedding celebration.

It has been carefully stored for many years, possessing a profound sense of history after 90 years.
