Kiso-nuri Lacquered Oval Lunch Box (small) Made In Japan

The suri-nuri technique involves applying raw lacquer to a bent wooden board made from straight-grained Kiso cypress, then rubbing it in as if it were lacquering it. The Kiso cypress's grain is clearly visible. The lacquer's shades vary depending on the condition of the wood, creating a simple, understated beauty. Because lacquer is made from wood, it naturally breathes, eliminating excess moisture and preventing rice from hardening.
