Paulownia Sake Masu HAKUMASUMASU / Flower and Butterfly

In addition to being used as a regular sake cup, it can also be used as a food container, small stationery, accessory case, display, or as a rice cup. The masu is waterproof and can be cleaned almost as well as tableware. The sides are rounded, making it cute and easy to pick up. This round shape fits well in your hand and makes you want to hold it in your hand all the time. That said, please be careful not to drink too much alcohol. Using a new technique, Masuda Kiribako has created a beautiful pattern that connects the patterns on the inside of the box. The design of this masu makes you want to display the beautiful design even when it is not in use. ”HAKUMASUMASU” / Flower and Butterfly Butterfly has always been an lucky animal that symbolizes "beauty" and "joy". Butterfly is called "Chou" in Japanese. The sound of "Chou" means "well-ordered number," "even number," , "excellent". This is a butterfly Masu, which has also been used as a motif in auspicious patterns. The design of the butterfly on the bottom of the Masu and the flower on the side is large. It is wonderful to see the flower and butterfly patterns when drinking. The flower and butterfly floating on the black painted is very fantastic.

However, if you put soy sauce, ketchup, or other strong-colored food directly in the container, or leave the container with water in it for a long time, it may stain. This can be prevented by using plastic wrap or a container inside. Washing in a dishwasher or with a hard sponge or scrubber may damage the box or remove the waterproof coating. It is recommended to use a neutral detergent and a soft sponge. They are all made to fit and overlap, but due to the specifications of the edges, they may slip. Please be careful when carrying. 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. By being able to contain a lot of air, it can retain heat and cold. 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. ●What is ”kirihaco”? "Masudakiribakoten" has been manufacturing paulownia boxes in Koga City, Fukuoka Prefecture, for about 90 years. They are constantly researching the types of paulownia that can be used for the purpose of the box and the way it is assembled. And to make the box beautiful and attractive, we also develop and propose our own processing methods to make the box beautiful and attractive. As part of this process, we have been developing products as part of the "kirihaco project" with the owner of the "FukuokaSeikatsudoguten". This project is based on the concept of a "paulownia box to incorporate into your life". ●About the trading period This product will be made to order if it is not in stock at the actual store.
