Treasure Box KATAGAMI Style [Rabbits on the Wave]

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.

Waves are a protection against fire, and the rabbit, a spirit of the moon, is considered an auspicious mythical beast that brings fertility and abundant harvests. Based on the Noh song "The moon floats on the sea, does the rabbit also run on the waves?", this pattern depicts a rabbit playfully frolicking in the waves in a cute and lively manner.

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.
