Thank you for viewing. This is a collaboration product between Cow Brand Soap and Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten. The "soap dish," with its unique texture thanks to the porcelain, is Hasami-yaki that faithfully reproduces the shape of the red box soap. It has a lid, so you don't have to worry about the soap getting wet, and you can use it with peace of mind. I purchased it at the store as a gift, but I ended up not giving it away and stored it in a dark place.
