Kurikyu Rice Tub, 5 Go, With Legs

This is a Kurikyu *ohitsu* (rice container) purchased from Motomaruya in Akita City, Akita Prefecture.

I have used it with care, but my family situation has changed, and consequently, its usage frequency has decreased. It's a wonderful item, and I considered keeping it, but I decided it would be better to pass it on to someone who will use it with care rather than letting it sit unused. Therefore, I have decided to list it for sale.

When I put freshly cooked rice in it, a subtle scent of cedar would rise, and the rice remained delicious even when cooled.

During the hot summer, even when I lost my appetite for hot rice, the chilled rice from the *ohitsu* was delicious and very useful.

I believe I used it carefully according to the instruction manual provided by the store, but there are some unavoidable stains from use. I think they are within a range that does not affect its use, but as it is a used item, please check the condition in the photos. The last photo shows the top of the lid, which has a faint scratch.

If you are considering purchasing this item, please take a moment to read my profile as well.
