This is a letter box made of Aitaishikki, a traditional craft of Kurume. It is characterized by its unique texture and durability, created by intricately weaving bamboo and repeatedly applying and polishing lacquer. The more you use it, the more it will fit your hand and the luster of the lacquer will increase, making it a lifelong treasure. The delicate weave (Ajiro-ami and Midare-ami) is beautiful, and the lustrous, calm amber color blends well with both Japanese and Western-style rooms. It is ideal for storing letters and documents, as well as for sewing boxes and storing important small items. External dimensions: Approximately 37cm long x 27cm wide Internal dimensions: Approximately 35cm long x 25cm wide 【Condition】 ・There are no major cracks or broken weaves, and it is generally in good condition, but there are some peeling and lifting in some areas.
