The exhibition will introduce new items such as cylinder boxes, magazine boxes, and pen cases with a two-tiered structure. These will be shown alongside a wide selection from IFUJI’s classic box series, including works made with cherry wood and finished with techniques such as “Sando Kuro” (three layers of black lacquer) and natural plant-based dyes.
Guided by the philosophy of making only what is truly needed in everyday life, Ifuji carves each piece from large timber and finishes it entirely by hand. We invite you to experience his craftsmanship firsthand, including his signature oval boxes.
- Please note that custom orders will not be accepted during this event. Only items available for purchase will be on display. Thank you for your understanding.
