Hakata Bentwood Tamaki Oval Bento Box
A handcrafted oval bento lunchbox by Hakata Bentwood Tamaki, made in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Each bento box is carefully crafted from locally sourced cedar wood and woven with sakura bark, without using any metal. The subtle natural grain and handwoven detailing make every piece unique, reflecting centuries of traditional Japanese woodworking.
Created by Tamaki Shibata, the 18th-generation artisan and first female craftsman in over 400 years of family history, this bento box blends tradition with modern design. Durable and practical for everyday use, the cedar naturally regulates moisture and enhances the flavor of rice, while the gentle aroma adds an authentic touch to any meal. Each piece carries the legacy of Hakata Bentwood Tamaki, bridging past and present Japanese craftsmanship.
