Kabazaiku is made from the bark of wild cherry trees. It is said that the word originated from a long poem in the Manyoshu, in which wild cherry trees were described as "kaniha," which was later transformed into "kaba."
The bark that has been thinly shaved and polished is called "mujikawa," while the bark that brings out the expression of wild cherry is called "shimofurikawa," and as it is touched every day, it becomes shinier and retains its unique luster.

Thank you very kindly for your shipment to my US address. I am highly pleased with all of my purchases and will shop again with you soon.
What lovely ware to cherish and gift! It is a pleasure to handle and work with your wares. They are practical, high quality, beautifully finished and satisfying to the touch. I will continue to enjoy them for all of their long lifetime and am proud to gift them.
They keep all promises and exceed expectations: [Okai Mafu Shoten] Linen Fukin towel dries so well and leaves glassware sparkly clean. [THE] Soy Sauce Cruet will not spill a single drop, however it is handled. [Daiya] Katsubako Brush cleans my fine coffee grinds, disregarding the highly static environment at 7000ft/2000m... and so on. Thank you again!
The package arrived in under two weeks and in pristine shape. All items were wrapped with love and incredible attention to detail. The [Seiryugama] Sencha Cup came with a tiny, tiny chip, but that could not have happened in transit. All other items arrived in perfect condition. I have never yet received international shipments in such good shape here. Kudos to your team!
I look forward to shopping again.
All best to you and Shokunin enterprise.

The outer casing is made of plain bark polished from the surface of wild cherry bark, and you can enjoy the unique expression of the knots in the cherry bark that appear when it is polished. The luster will increase as it gets worn day by day and the more you use it, the more it will change into a calm color. Not only the outer casing, but also the inside and the back of the lid are covered with precious wild cherry bark, making it a gem of quality. It can also be used to store coffee beans.
