This “Japanese Paulownia Storage Box with Casters” is made in Saga City, next to Ōkawa — Japan’s largest furniture-producing region.
Designed for Japan’s naturally humid climate, this box combines the lightness and humidity-resistance of paulownia wood with the convenience of casters, making everyday storage remarkably easy.
The Real Problem: Clutter, Moisture, and Hard-to-Move Storage
Rooms get cluttered quickly. Plastic boxes look cheap. Wooden boxes are heavy and difficult to move. And in countries with high humidity like Japan, mold is a constant concern.
Many people want storage that is stylish, easy to move, and reliable in humid environments. Such storage is extremely rare.
Paulownia Wood — Trusted in Japan’s Humid Climate for Centuries
Japan is one of the most humid countries in the world. For centuries, people have used paulownia (kiri) wood to protect kimono, fabrics, and valuables from moisture and insects. Its natural humidity-control, breathability, and lightweight structure make it a uniquely functional material.
The Solution: A Storage Box That Moves, Protects, and Looks Beautiful
By combining humidity-resistant paulownia wood with casters (two with stoppers), this box becomes a storage unit that is easy to move, practical for daily life, and visually refined for modern interiors.
