They are a craft of Odate City, Akita Prefecture, and are designated as a national traditional craft. Magewappa wood is made using the straight grain of the annual rings, which has the most beautiful grain. The straight grain is thinly peeled off and soaked in hot water to soften it, then quickly bent to fit the mold, dried, and then the next process begins. The dried pieces are then sewn together one by one with cherry bark. The bottom is then fitted in place so that there are no gaps, and the piece is sanded down to complete the process. Bento boxes are an item that can be said to be the roots of Odate Magewappa. As these are handmade using natural materials, there will be variations in the color, grain, and texture of each piece.
