Japanese wooden boxes with sliding lids
Our wooden boxes in Japanese paulownia wood are the ideal plastic-free storage for your rice, bread or other food.
The box is handmade by Japanese 'Matsuda Kiribako Co. ' without the use of nails or metal fittings. A fine craftsmanship characteristic of the Kasukabe City area of Saitama, which is known for its paulownia products.
Boxes made of Paulownia wood are a traditional Japanese container for storing rice and other foods, clothes, etc
Paulownia is rich in insect repellants such as tannin, paulownin and sesamin, and due to its porous structure, paulownia has a high ability to regulate moisture.
The wooden boxes are therefore used in Japanese kitchens to store and protect food. The boxes are also used elsewhere in Japanese homes for storing and organizing clothes and other everyday items.
The boxes are made with a beautiful and practical sliding door opening, which makes it easy to take things out of the box with your hands or with the help of the accompanying ladle, which holds 2 dl. It is also possible to remove the entire top lid, which makes it easy to fill and clean the box.
Our Paulownia boxes are available in two sizes, both of which come with matching Paulownia scoops:
- 30 x 24 x 18 cm (holds 5 kg)
- 30 x 24 x 27 cm (holds 10 kg)
Designed and handmade in Japan 🇯🇵
Masuda Kiribako Co. was established in 1929 as a manufacturer of traditional handmade kiribako boxes made from paulownia wood (called 'Kiri' in Japanese).
Initially, the production consisted of boxes for traditional Japanese objects such as Hakata dolls and Shamisen instruments.
Later, Masuda Kiribako developed a wide range of wooden boxes for tea ceremony instruments, foodstuffs and other small household items.
Masuda Kiribako is run today by Hirofumi Fujii, who is the third generation. Born in 1987, Hirofumi is a young leader who has carried on the craft of his grandfather, the second generation leader of Masuda Kiribako. With Hirofumi, Masuda Kiribako continuously develops unique craft methods to create beautiful and charming wooden boxes

En général
Toutes les photos de produits sont de vraies photos de produits spécifiques. Cependant, certaines photos ont ajouté des intérieurs et des environnements créés à l’aide de l’intelligence artificielle pour créer une atmosphère et mettre le produit en contexte.
Concernant les menuiseries
Notre objectif est d'élargir continuellement le catalogue afin que les tailles et les designs soient mieux illustrés dans la boutique en ligne.
Il n'y a pas de photos de toutes les variantes et tailles, donc la photo qui apparaît lors du choix d'une variante dans la boutique en ligne reflète principalement uniquement le type de bois - pas nécessairement la taille ou d'autres variations dans le design.
NOTEZ que nous essayons toujours de créer des produits en bois uniques avec une expression visuelle passionnante. Vous devez donc prendre nos photos de produits à titre indicatif et non comme garantie de l'apparence du produit fini en termes de dessins de l'année et de jeu de couleurs.
Vous avez un doute ?
Si vous avez des questions sur le choix du design, des tailles, des couleurs ou du type de bois - ou si vous avez des souhaits particuliers, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter à info@rune-jakobsen.dk et à clarifier vos questions avant de commander.
