Larger Cube

by Hiroyo Masuko

This box is handmade in Yokohama, Japan.  This work is made using a hammer - a practice known as Tsuiki.  In Japanese, “tsuiki,” is the art of using a metal hammer (tsui) to raise (ki) a sheet of copper metal.  It is an ancient craft - one that elevates everyday objects, in turn elevating every day. 

Materials: uncoated brass (some natural patina will develop with use - it will be nice!)

Dimensions: 3 in. x 3in. x 2.5 in
