Washi treasure boxes (set of 3)

Handcrafted in Yatsuo, Toyama, Keijusha's treasure boxes are handmade from locally produced washi. The paper is first wrinkle-processed for strength and texture, then decorated using katazome, a traditional stencil-resist technique. Artisans place hand-cut stencils onto the washi and apply rice-starch paste before brushing layers of vivid pigment. After washing and drying, the patterned sheets are carefully formed into the functional, eye-catching piece you see here.
