Made by Ryobian in Odate, Akita
Respecting the historical techniques but not bound to the tradition, Ryobian designs and crafts “old yet new” products for the contemporary.
From approximately 400 years ago, Magewappa production began to thrive in Odate, Akita. Akita-Sugi (Cedar) forests are recognised as Japans most beautiful forests.
As per the traditional technique of Magewappa, the Cedar is sliced thinly along the grain, boiled to be softened, bent to shape and affixed with Cherry tree bark.
