■About Magewappa

Magewappa is a curved object made by bending straight-grained boards such as cedar or cypress and sewing them together with japanese cherry bark, without using any metal. It is said that the origins date back to ancient times, when wooden boxes were made to store the robes of Emperor Ojin, but over the course of 400 years, they have evolved from general ceremonial use to everyday items such as rice bowls, sushi buckets, bento boxes, and tea utensils. It is a wooden craft.

■Before using it for the first time

To remove the lye contained in the cedar, pour hot water (approximately 80 degrees Celsius) over the lid and body and leave for 2 to 3 minutes. Discard the hot water and dry thoroughly before use. Leaving it in hot water for a long time may cause stains. Please be careful when handling hot water to avoid getting burned.
