Meticulously handcrafted by Mr. Hasehira in the serene village of Miyama, Kyoto, the Miyama Bento Box 393 | Tamo showcases the rare elegance of Tamo wood, known as Japanese ash. Revered for its striking, wavy grain pattern (often called “watered silk”), Tamo is a prized material traditionally used for high-end furniture, luxury veneers, and even fine musical instruments like guitars.
This unique wood is celebrated not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its durability and rich texture. Rarely used in bento boxes, Tamo elevates this piece to a level of sophistication rarely found in everyday items. Its natural patterns make each box one of a kind, exuding a quiet luxury that reflects the harmony of nature and craftsmanship.
Designed for those who value artistry in the everyday, this bento box combines practicality with a touch of indulgence, making every meal a refined experience.
Own a piece of Japanese tradition with the Miyama Bento Box 356 | Tamo – a perfect blend of rarity, beauty, and function, destined to be cherished for generations.

The Story
HASEHIRA-SAMA
It all started when Miyama woodworker Mr. Hasehira saw us on national TV and felt inspired to create his own line of bento boxes! When we saw the results of his efforts, we were absolutely delighted. We are incredibly honored to exclusively sell these limited-edition pieces, which Mr. Hasehira continues to meticulously hand-make for our shop.
