【Wooden mosaic holder】
This is a stamp pad holder (a container for the vermillion ink used for seals) that has been painstakingly hand made by a craftsman using the "muku" method of creating wooden mosaics, which is a traditional handicraft of Hakone. Items made by this muku method are created as a block formed from pieces of different woods fitted together. Compared with the "koyosegi" and other traditional methods, this stamp pad holder, a special item made from large pieces of wood and hence a large block, which is then shaped and polished fastidiously in a wood lathe before applying a varnish, has a sense of luxury, modernity and superior strength.
