Tenkara-ya

“Jisaku-ya” was founded in 2019. They produce their own small wooden products inspired by traditional wooden products that have been used in Japan for a long time.

This kebari(fly) case is made of cedar wood with Sugi-yaki(cedar firing technique). This method gives the case a distinctive design. Sugi-yaki is a traditional technique of processing cedar board for the purpose of insect repellent and anti-corrosion. Sugi-yaki board was mainly used as an exterior wall material for houses. Since the Showa period, this method has been used to create folk crafts that make use of the natural grain of the wood, giving it a “wabi-sabi” feel. This product is also made of natural cedar and is finished with Sugi-yaki method, taking advantage of differences in wood grain, presence of knots, and color. Please feel the Japanese “wabi-sabi” by all means.
