Hakone Yosegi Sliding-Lid Pen Box — Kiri & Marquetry, 1980s

Slim silhouette, infinite pattern

This slender case distills the same yosegi artistry into a pocket-sized marvel. A brass catch releases the sliding lid; inside, smooth kiri keeps fountain pens, calligraphy brushes, or incense sticks safe from humidity. The lid’s inlays shift from kikkō tortoise shell to asanoha stars, a portable gallery of Edo-era motifs reimagined for modern desks.

  • Origin: Hakone, Japan

  • Era: 1980s, Shōwa period

  • Material: Paulownia body, mixed hardwood veneers, brass handle

  • Use: Pen or chopstick case, travel incense holder, gift box

  • Features: Lightweight kiri construction, multi-pattern yosegi panel

  • Dimensions: 2 1/2"W x 9 1/2"D x 1 1/2"H

  • Condition: Very good; tiny corner rubs, lid glides effortlessly

Carry it, and the discipline of countless wood strips accompanies every written word.
