Small paulownia box with silk braided cord.

This is a paulownia wood box with a braided cord, designed for teapots used for Chinese and Taiwanese teas. The box is made from high-quality paulownia wood and features a pure silk braided cord. High-quality paulownia wood is resistant to drying and will last a long time. Paulownia wood boxes have been used in Japan since ancient times to store potteries. Paulownia wood has moisture-absorbing properties, protecting ceramics from moisture, mold, and impact. Paulownia is not wood, but the stem of a plant. Because it grows quickly, the material is soft and easily damaged. However, because the material is soft, it is less likely to transmit impact to the contents, thus protecting them. Because it grows quickly and has a low environmental impact, it has recently attracted attention as an environmentally friendly material. In addition to storing ceramics, it can also be used to store tea leaves, cookies, and other sweets.
