Treasure Box KATAGAMI Style [Sakura with Tomoe]

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 cherry blossom is a flower that represents Japan and has been loved by people since ancient times. Both its beautiful blooming and its fleeting scattering can be likened to the Japanese spirit. The Tomoe is said to be derived from the Magatama, a comma-shaped jewel. It is also thought to represent the swirling of water, and has been used as a charm against fire and as the emblem of Hachiman, the god of war. Both motifs are auspicious patterns with deep connections to the Japanese people.

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.
