KINOKABAN Monyo-Monyo

One day, there was a red KINOKABAN in the atelier, fully dyed and coated.

A few days after it was thought to be finished, the artist’s family peeked into the atelier and—

to their surprise—found it covered in countless “monyo-monyo” patterns!

The sharply finished body stands in stark contrast to the gentle, freehand lines.

Furthermore, the carvings on the red body deliberately use a complementary color.

Breaking free from preconceived notions and letting his hands move as his heart desired,

it became one of those rare pieces brimming with vitality.

Precautions for use

No special care is required for wooden bags. Wooden products develop a distinctive flavor as they are used, and we hope you will enjoy the changes that occur as you use them.

To ensure that you can use our products without worrying about rain stains, dirt, or color transfer to your clothes, we have applied a sufficient layer of urushi lacquer or coating agent. Please wipe it dry with a soft cloth when it gets wet from use on a rainy day. If it gets dirty, wipe with water. If stains cannot be removed, a diluted neutral detergent can be used.

Although the durability of the product has been carefully considered, it may be damaged by falling, impact, or rubbing due to its characteristics as a wooden product. Please handle with care. We recommend storing the product in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. Please avoid storing the product under direct sunlight or in extremely high temperature and humidity for long periods of time, as this may cause the product to deteriorate, develop mold, or fade in color.
