The fresh scent of the forest

Opening the lid, one encounters the fresh scent of Asunaro cypress. The neatly hand-crafted and chamfered structure is a gift of the craftsmanship of Kijiya, specialized wood artisans. This is a functional work of art that rewards everyday use with a deeper appreciation of the Japanese sense of beauty in its clean, elegant shape and clear wood grain.
