Product Description
This handcrafted box is made from paulownia wood and lavishly wrapped in authentic silk from a furisode kimono, featuring a vivid color palette reminiscent of Okinawan Bingata dyeing.
Peonies, plum blossoms, maple leaves, and flowing water motifs—symbols of Japan’s four seasons—are vibrantly expressed across the surface, creating a joyful and lively impression.
You may notice some yellowish areas on the fabric, but these are not stains; they are a natural result of the dyeing process and part of the fabric’s original texture and character.
The interior is lined with a deep navy fabric, grounding the brilliance of the outer design with a refined contrast.
Perfect for storing tea bags, accessories, or as a decorative gift box. A one-of-a-kind piece that brings traditional Japanese beauty into your space.

WHY PAULOWNIA?
Paulownia wood has unique humidity-control properties. It absorbs moisture in humid conditions and releases it when dry. When it absorbs moisture, the box expands slightly, creating a near-sealed environment — helping prevent mold and repel insects. For centuries, kimono chests in Japan have been made from paulownia for these very reasons.
