IRON WORK 2/2

Chuushin Kobo

The incense box comes in two types,
a wooden lid type and a metal lid type.
For the metal lid type, each individual lid has been broken apart
by a hammer
allowing each individual lid to be completely original.

The manufacturer : Hisanori Masuda


This method is called the haochi method, and has traditionally been used to create teapots in Japan.

The sense of beauty created by this method is an art
originally crafted by the traditional Japanese.

As for the wooden lid type,
each lid has been handcrafted and carved by a master-craftsman.


The smooth texture of the walnut tree lid,
and the rough texture of the iron body creates a beautiful harmony.
