Paulownia Cutlery Case

The square shape, unlike the circular shape, eliminates dead space. It can be used not only as a cutlery case but also as a canister. The highly transparent acrylic lid allows you to see what is inside at a glance. You can also make use of the acrylic surface to make it look like an interior design by placing it so that you can see the contents. Because of its square shape, you can use it in a drawer with the acrylic facing upwards, for example. It can be placed vertically, horizontally, or flat, so it can be placed anywhere and is easy to move when redecorating. It functions like the paulownia chests that have been used in Japan for centuries. It is airtight, moisture-proof, mothproof, and antibacterial, so it can be used as a food storage or collection case for watches, etc. It can also be used as a gift box or a nice gift that can be used after the contents are gone. ●Material 　Body: paulownia wood 　Lid: drop lid + acrylic ●Size 　w264mm x d38mm x h67mm ●Handling This product has not been treated to be water resistant, so it is not suitable for cleaning with water or detergent. Please wipe gently with a dry cloth or with a small amount of alcohol. Dried in the shade of a well ventilated room for half a day while the contents are empty, such as at the change of seasons, the moisture absorbed by the paulownia can be released once it is released. Remarks This product is handmade from natural wood. Due to the nature of the wood, there may be differences in the actual color and texture, and there may be dents and scratches. Please purchase with your understanding. ●Paulownia characteristics Paulownia wood has a very small shrinkage rate, so there is little dimensional change. This makes it possible to minimize deviations and cracks in the design of precision processing. Therefore, we can make accurate boxes with no gaps. Paulownia wood is porous, made up of dense, bubbly, independent tissue. It regulates humidity by sucking in moisture in humid weather and expelling it when it dries out, as if it were breathing. It also contains ingredients that inhibit the growth of insects and fungus. Due to the high content of tannin, the preservative component, paulownia is resistant to decay and can be used for a long time. Wood has some resilience, but paulownia is more capable of that. It has the ability to restore even a few scratches and dents. In Japan, paulownia has long been used as a chest of drawers for kimonos and as a gift box. One of the charms of paulownia wood is its beautiful grain, and with careful use, it can be enjoyed over time, just like leather goods. ●About the trading period This product will be made to order if it is not in stock at the actual store.
