                                Alluding to a cable charged with electrical energy, Terumasa Ikeda’s pentagonal tea caddy, sculpted from kiso hinoki cypress and finished with black urushi lacquer and mother-of-pearl, is indicative of the Internet age. In Japan, the pentagon is a structure that leaves nothing divided, and acts as a ward against evil.
