Cherry bark craft is a unique craft in the world, using the bark of wild cherry trees. The bark of wild cherry trees regenerates in a few years after being peeled using techniques passed down through generations, and does not kill the tree. The origin of the name is said to be from a long poem in the Manyoshu, where wild cherry trees were expressed as "kaniha," which later transformed into "kaba." Cherry bark craft is an attractive craft because of the beauty of the material, and it is also based on the excellent properties of the material. One of its characteristics is its ability to suppress moisture. Products that take advantage of these characteristics have been created over time, such as inro (small, decorative cases), medicine cases, tobacco pouches, and tea caddies, and traditional techniques have been passed down. Items that are touched daily will increase in luster and maintain the unique gloss of wild cherry. Although it is a new, unused item, it is an old item.
