Paulownia Box Included: Natural Stone Lapis Lazuli & Shima Enaga Obi-dome, Pony Hook, Brooch Compatible, Gold Leaf

【With Paulownia Box】Natural Stone Lapis Lazuli and Shima Enaga Obi-dome / Compatible with Pony Hook & Brooch ⸻ 【About the Artwork】 This obi-dome features the natural stone lapis lazuli, known for its beautiful deep sapphire hue, adorned with a motif of a Shima Enaga (Long-tailed Tit) gracefully taking flight. The lapis lazuli, with its star-like inclusions resembling a night sky, and the pure white, endearing Shima Enaga captured in mid-flight evoke a sense of clear air and tranquility, presenting a dignified presence. With a subtle yet captivating elegance that is not overly flashy, this piece can be enjoyed not only with yukata and summer kimonos but also throughout the seasons. The gold leaf used is 24K pure gold leaf from the renowned Kanazawa craft producer, "Hakuichi." Its understated yet profound shimmer further enhances the beauty of the natural stone. Lapis lazuli is the birthstone for December, symbolizing "good fortune," "intuition," and the "power to discern truth." It makes a wonderful personal amulet or a thoughtful gift for a loved one. 【About the Paulownia Box】 This item will be delivered in a luxurious, **paulownia wood box (navy interior)**, proudly made in Japan. It is a high-quality box with beautiful wood grain, perfect for gifting. Paulownia wood boxes, possessing natural insect-repellent properties, have been traditionally used in Japan for storing precious items. They feature excellent humidity-regulating capabilities: they expand in high humidity to create a tighter seal, preventing moisture from entering, and contract in dry conditions, releasing their stored moisture. Ideal for storing obi-domes and accessories, this box combines aesthetic appeal with practicality for a truly special finish.
