This is a "beautiful" and "elegant" paulownia wood coffret (decorative box) with an Ise Katagami pattern engraved on it. It can be used in many ways, such as for storing accessories or organizing business cards and other cards.

The motif of circles (円, "en"), representing connections (ご縁, "go-en") that multiply and expand endlessly, is an auspicious pattern that expresses "harmony," "connections," and "bonds." It is a fortunate and auspicious design. The pattern is expressed through "錐彫り" (Kiribori), a traditional Ise Katagami technique using tiny dots, resulting in a delicate, captivating beauty and intricacy.

Ise Katagami is a traditional craft that is hand-carved for dyeing patterns on kimonos. In the late 19th century, it traveled to Europe and the United States, where it greatly influenced art movements such as Art Nouveau in France, Arts & Crafts in England, and Jugendstil in Germany. It is a "design that the world fell in love with."

This stylish coffret features a pattern carefully selected by an Ise Katagami manufacturer with 100 years of history, specially engraved on paulownia wood.

Enjoy the fun of design that colors your everyday life, whether it's used for organizing business cards on your desk, as an accessory box on your dressing table, for organizing cards next to the telephone, or as a key box in your entryway. It comes with a black gift box, making it perfect for gifts.

Care Guide

- Because natural paulownia wood is used, the appearance of the engraved pattern will vary from piece to piece, with differences in the darkness, lightness, and evenness of the impression. - Paulownia wood is a soft material, so it is easily scratched and dented, and it will discolor over time due to its nature as natural wood.
