楽しく飽きない、安心安全なお弁当箱。
「楽しい形で飽きないものを。丈夫で抗菌作用もある安心安全な漆で。」というテーマのもと誕生した、小泉誠氏デザインのお弁当箱。
朴の木の塊を削り出して作る「ひさご型」は、細部の加工が難しく、職人の確かな技術と丁寧な作業があってこそ。
適度な深さがあるため、見た目よりもしっかり詰めることができます。本体2段のうち、1段には仕切りが付いており、食べ物を分けて入れられるのも嬉しい。お弁当だけでなく、お菓子などを入れても◎。
朴の優しい木目を引き立てるのは、漆塗りの技法の中で最も基本的な「拭漆技法」によるもの。
手跡やほこりなどを残さないよう丁寧に整えられた木地の上に直接漆を塗り込み、乾かないうちに布を使って、漆を擦り込むように拭き取り乾かす。それを繰り返し仕上げています。使い込むことで少しずつ漆の色が明るくなり、より木目がはっきりと現れる、その変化も美しいのが特徴です。
食事を楽しく、飽きずに使える、安心安全なお弁当箱。

A lunch box that makes you feel happy
A lunch box designed by Makoto Koizumi, which was born under the theme of "Making
something fun and timeless with safe and secure urushi that is durable and has antibacterial
action". The "gourd shape", which is made by carving out a block of Japanese white-bark
magnolia, is difficult to process in detail, and can only be manufactured with the reliable
technique and careful work of craftsmen.
It has a moderate depth, so you can pack food more firmly than it looks. The main body is two
tiered and one has a partition, so you can pack food separately. You can use it not only for lunch box but also for sweets etc.
The finest wood grain is enhanced by applying the most basic "Fuki-Urushi" painting technique. Urushi is applied directly onto the wood that has been carefully prepared so as not to leave
traces or dust, and before it dries, it is repeatedly wiped and dried with a cloth. The color of the
urushi lacquer gradually becomes brighter as it is used, and the grain of wood appears more
clearly, and the change is also beautiful.
