Drawing upon their region’s deep history in traditional lacquerware, they bring a similar dedication and ethos to items in modern materials. While in many areas new plastics replaced craft, in Ishikawa it became part of it - and many of the bento boxes carried to school and work each day are made here. Within them Takenaka’s bento vessels have a particular textural flair and quality. They have the attention to detail, and the functional pleasure that forms the basis to Japanese lunchtime adventures.","published_at":"2022-08-27T14:34:33+01:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Takenaka"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":393612743,"handle":"wagumi-gift-ideas","updated_at":"2024-04-23T12:45:02+01:00","published_at":"2016-10-29T18:02:00+01:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"wagumi gift ideas","body_html":"","image":{"created_at":"2016-10-31T19:18:00+00:00","alt":"","width":3276,"height":2384,"src":"\/\/wagumi-j.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Special_Occasions.JPG?v=1544284333"}}]
