The Jindai Tote standing on a wet rock beside moving water. Hinoki, dovetailed.

Jindai: Tokyo · Chōfu · Jindaiji

A bag for the bath.

Hinoki, 15 mm. Four dovetailed corners. No metal, no thread, no finish.

Jindai · 深大

West of Tokyo, at the water's edge by the temple of Jindaiji, there is a small house that makes things. Its name comes from the bonds this water has made between people for thirteen hundred years. The first work is a bath tote of hinoki, joined by hand.

There is no hurry.
