Tea caddy Buchi (Miki Tomioka)

[Hybrid case of Kaba-zaiku]

Wild cherry bark and walnut veneer are finger jointed to form a cylindrical container. Although the finger joint design has used to be mostly linear, we made it curved with this BUCHI series. The joints made of different materials also create a beautiful contrast, giving a sense of the warmth of wood. Although the long container can be used as a tea caddy, it is also the size that face masks can be put in as the wild cherry bark has an antibacterial effect and is suitable as a desktop face mask case.
