    wooden oval box, with lid of cherry bark. name of the product is branded on the side with a hot iron. lid is sealed with crinkled paper.

    there is an artless charm about this candy box from Tokushima Ciy. the combination of colours and textures is remarkably pleasing and the design is plain but attractive. the materials are simple: thin sheets of wood, crinkled paper dyed in an appealing shade of blue, and cherry bark for the knob on the lid. the name of the product is branded on the side with a hot iron.
