Flat Ugetsubiki Incense Box
Flat Ugetsubiki Incense Box
Made to order. This piece is turned after you order it and normally ships within about four weeks. If one is finished and waiting, it can leave the same day. We email you a tracking number the moment it ships.
You can cancel within 24 hours of ordering, unless it has already shipped.
If the button reads "Not available in your country", this piece cannot be sent to your country as it is — the reason is in the description below. A commission in a different size or wood may be possible.
Feel free to contact us.
Description
A shallow lidded box, low and wide, cut in the ugetsubiki manner — the lathe technique the maker inherited, in which a ring is drawn out of the block without ever being separated from it. The lid drops flush and seats by friction alone.
Small enough to close a hand around.
- Dimensions: about 70 × 40 × 70 mm
- Weight: about 30 g
- Wood: Amur cork tree, Hornbeam, Beetle-killed pine
- The wood may change with what is in the workshop. If we cannot make your piece in the wood you chose, we write to you and offer another, or refund you in full.
- Finish: walnut (tree nut) oil
- Made to order — ships within about 4 weeks. If a finished piece in the wood you chose is already waiting, it ships sooner.
- Ships from Japan. Not available to Canada — Canadian plant-health rules (CFIA D-02-12) require heat treatment for wooden items over 1.5 cm thick.
This piece is made in small numbers. The photographs show pieces from the current batch — the one you receive will be similar but not identical. Turned by hand, one at a time, so grain, dimensions and weight vary from piece to piece. That variation is part of hand work, not a fault.
Every piece is turned after you order it. You can cancel within 24 hours of ordering for a full refund, unless it has already shipped. We email you a tracking number the moment it ships.
Care
Hand wash only, with warm water and a soft cloth. Not dishwasher or microwave safe. Dry immediately and keep out of direct sun. Where urushi lacquer is used, avoid abrasive cleaners.
Shipping & duties
Ships from Japan by Japan Post, with tracking and insurance. Shipping is paid by the customer and shown at checkout, separately from the price of the piece.
Except for the United States, for orders outside Japan, import taxes and any duty are set by your country and collected by the carrier when the parcel arrives. They are not included in what you pay us, and the carrier may add a handling fee. For the United States, import duty is included in the price and paid before shipping. Orders within Japan are domestic — nothing further is due.
Because each piece is unique, we do not remake it if lost; if a parcel is lost, we refund you in full. See Shipping & Delivery and Returns & Refunds for the full terms.
