Tiny Asanoha Sewing Box

A tiny sewing box packed with Ishikawa region's uniqueness!

The wooden box cradles the following exquisite items: 

• 2 colors of sewing thread on wooden spools that fit perfectly in the box
• The tiniest pin cushion -- only 1 cm! -- made of vintage shibori-dyed silk
• 2 easy-thread sewing needles that are a specialized needle to allows the thread to pass through the needle hole by simply putting a thread in the groove on the needle and pushing it. 
• A plum-shaped magnet that holds a tiny thread snips, which are the smallest stainless steel scissors in Japan with a total length of 45 mm. They have excellent sharpness.

The surface of the paulownia box is etched with the pattern of a hemp leaf, or Asanoha in Japanese. The wood is untreated and will patina nicely over time.
