In addition to the classic box series, including the signature Oval Box, this exhibition will feature items in the new “Ai-doro” color (indigo mud), as well as “Doro-zome” (mud-dyed) and “Ai-midori” (indigo green). We will also introduce the new Oval Bangle.
Each piece is carved individually from a large piece of wood and finished entirely by hand. From the natural color and grain of the wood itself to the subtle variations in character created through handwork, this is an opportunity to experience IFUJI’s distinctive approach to craftsmanship. We invite you to visit the stores and explore the pieces firsthand.
- Please note that custom orders will not be accepted during this exhibition. Only items available for purchase will be offered.
