A hand-made postcard-size paper container treated with persimmon juice and wax coating by Stack Containers. The method of using persimmon dyes on home goods, furnitures and apparel s has been prevalent in Japan for over twelve centuries. The tannin inside the astringent, unripe persimmon fruit creates a durable surface that is water-, bug-, and rot-resistant. In the hands of paper artist Takeaki Kawaida, the natural-dyed paper is constructed into a sturdy, one-of-a-kind showpiece. From archiving artwork, photos and memorabilia to storing food, cutlery or toys, the containers stop time for its contents inside while aging beautifully outside. Dimension: (W)6.9" x (H)5.5" x (D)4.3" Made in Kagoshima, Japan. Also available (from large to small): A3, A4, Square, A4, B5 and Cutlery. Show more
