Story<\/span><\/h3>\n

Masu boxes were was originally used to measure rice, and later came into use holding sake glasses. This fragrant Japanese cypress masu box encases a pincushion made of Kokura textile, a cotton fabric produced in the Northern Kyushu region since the early Edo period.<\/p>\n

Kokura textile is known for its three-dimensional stripes with a rhythmic color pattern created by the use of many warp threads. Kokura textile production ceased during World War II. However, after several decades, weaver Noriko Tsuiki revived Kokura textile into a thriving industry creating stylish-but-traditional cloth. The Kokura textile brand “Kokura Shima Shima” was created with the revival. The brand is highly acclaimed for its simple and versatile textile designs that fit into modern lifestyles. Since revived, the art has into a thriving industry creating stylish-but-traditional cloth.<\/p>\n

The glass heads of these sturdy pins were developed by Nail Salon Ai-rish and Kato Shippo Works to capture the beauty of traditional Aichi Shippo ware. Shippo is a type of cloisonne ware, or lacquered metalwork, and its name derives from the “seven treasures” of gold, silver, pearl, agate, crystal, coral, and lapis lazuli. Uniquely crafted “Shippo flakes” are incorporated into the glass head of the sewing pins, bringing an elevated touch to your craft.<\/p>\n

  • The needle tip is sharp and dangerous, so be careful when handling lost needles.<\/li>\n
  • The sewing pin is handmade, so the size and pattern may vary.<\/li>\n
  • The glass top of the sewing pin may come off if you pull too strong.<\/li>\n

  • Please note that using it for anything other than sewing may cause damage or injury.<\/li>\n
  • Due to the characteristics of the fabric, the fabric may be punctured by thick needles.<\/li>\n
  • Please be careful that the needles do not get stuck in the pincushion.<\/li>\n
  • This product is for needle pricking only. Please do not use it for other purposes.<\/li>\n
  • The Masu wooden box is made of natural wood, so there may be differences in color, grain, and knots. Please enjoy them as the texture of natural materials.<\/li>\n
  • Storage in high temperature and high humidity, direct sunlight, or drying out may cause cracking, yarn, or mold.<\/li>\n
  • The wooden base may get sticky due to the resin of the hinoki. Wipe it off with alcohol to remove the stickiness.<\/li>\n
