[Hakone Yosegi-zaiku] Japanese Craftsmanship Octagonal Pen Stand / Storage Container

**Hakone Yosegi-zaiku** Yosegi-zaiku is a traditional craft originating from Hakone, Japan, with a history spanning 200 years. It involves meticulously joining pieces of wood in various natural colors to create intricate geometric patterns and designs. Only artisans possessing both patience and precision can craft these exquisite products. **Octagonal Pen Stand** This pen stand is crafted using the traditional Hakone Yagi-zaiku technique of "thin wood veneer." Wood pieces with natural colors and patterns are assembled into a large panel, which is then planed into thin veneers. These veneers are then joined to form products with beautiful patterns, and can also be used as storage containers. This piece features the traditional Yosegi-zaiku continuous geometric patterns, alongside a Tortoiseshell hemp leaf pattern. The interior and exterior walls also showcase wooden strip patterns, exuding a strong sense of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and exquisite beauty! The internal layered dividers make it easy to organize stationery and enhance usability. **Dimensions** Approx. 88 x 88 x 88 mm **Notes** This product is handmade by Japanese artisans.
