Tohru Matsuzaki’s hand crafted ridge box was made by using chisels and planes on blocks of wood. The simple, yet refined, multifaceted round shape accompanied by the silver and black lacquer stripe displays the artist’s mastery of fine and exceptionally detailed wood carving and lacquer work. The silver lacquer accentuates the natural textures created in the lacquer process. A sophisticated and timeless piece, this ridged box can be used for storing treats or other small items.
