Brand Information:

Our Ojuu is unique and modern in design, with Akita cedar, traditionally used in Japan, used for the inner box and clear, see-through acrylic for the outer box, providing a beautiful contrast.

Traditional Oju is a box for stacking two or more layers of food, and has been used in Japan for traditional celebratory events.

The beautiful Akita cedar can be enjoyed even when the inner box is removed and placed on the table as is.

Enjoy filling it with various types of dishes, snacks, fruits, desserts, etc.

Ojuu is also convenient to carry as is for picnics and barbecues, and the clear lid helps to avoid dust and prevent food from drying out while the contents are visible.

Akita Cedar

Ojuu’s wooden boxes are made of a special kind of wood called Akita cedar.

Akita Cedar is well known for its beautiful annual ring, breathability, and antibacterial properties. Our super lightweight cedar Masu boxes are made one by one by local artisans in Akita, northern Japan. You can enjoy its one-of-a-kind beauty in its color, annual ring, and scent. 

Akita cedar typically grows with less sunshine than other trees and keeps growing throughout its lifetime. Cedars gown this circumstance creates beautiful annual rings and makes them more durable for flexible.

Our MASU box is made by the Kanzashi technique using wild cherry wood. It makes Masu look beautiful with a darker color accent on each corner.

The inside and outside of the Masu are coated with beeswax to prevent the absorption of excess moisture and stains. As maintenance, we recommend beeswax or walnut oil to apply surfaces regularly. They give a natural coating to make it durable and help prevent stains from food.
