大館工芸社 曲げわっぱ 弁当箱 中サイズ 日本製

Product Description

The Odate Bent Wappa Bento Box is a beautifully crafted item made from Akita cedar, one of Japan's most renowned woods. This bento box is a traditional craft from Odate City in Akita Prefecture and is recognized as a national traditional craft. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, ensuring a unique and high-quality product.

The creation process involves using the quarter-sawn part of the annual ring, known for its beautiful grain. This part is stripped thin, soaked in boiling water to soften, and then quickly bent to fit a mold. After drying, the pieces are sewn together with cherry bark, and the bottom is fitted seamlessly to ensure no gaps. The final step involves filing the box to perfection.

As these bento boxes are handmade from natural materials, there may be slight variations in color and texture between the photograph and the actual product. These differences add to the uniqueness and charm of each piece.
