Established in 1929, Masuda Kirikoten is a Fukuoka-based company specializing in the production of traditional Japanese paulownia wood boxes, known as 'kiribako.' Initially crafting boxes for Hakata dolls and shamisen instruments, the company has expanded its product range to include rice bins, bread boxes, bookshelves, and other daily-use items. Under the leadership of third-generation craftsman Hirofumi Fujii, Masuda Kirikoten combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design, collaborating with designers to develop unique products. The company also engages in crowdfunding projects to create items like board games and shoe cases using recycled paulownia wood.
