Turn toilet paper into "interior"! The "Walnut Roll Paper Case" embodies the craftsmanship of Echizen lacquerware from 1500 years ago.

This is a desktop roll paper case (large size) that we love using at home and have grown to love more and more the more we use it every day.

As the prices of everyday items essential to daily life continue to rise, and households are concerned about maintenance and chemicals, an increasing number of people are using toilet paper in their living rooms and other areas.

However, if you leave it indoors as it is, not only does it give off a very homey vibe, it is also prone to getting dirty, which is unhygienic, and it is difficult to cut except along the perforations, so there seem to be many complaints from users.

So, by combining the fastening techniques of joinery artisans of Echizen lacquerware, a traditional craft from Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture that has been around for 1,500 years, with modern art, a new concept in roll paper case was created.

The appearance created by the deep color of the fine wood is an "art of living" that goes beyond functionality.

Simply pull out the toilet paper instead of tissue with one hand and cut it to the desired length.

Every time you use it, it will bring brightness and color to your life.

A fusion of traditional crafts and modern design

Tradition x Innovation

The sharp form of the fastening process has been handed down through generations, and the supple feel of the three-coated urethane coating.

The precise 45-degree joints create smooth curves with no visible edges, a result of skilled craftsmanship.

Noble walnut

Walnut, one of the world's three most precious woods, is characterized by its deep brown color with a purplish tint. It is very unlikely to warp or twist due to changes in temperature or humidity. Over time, it changes to a warm brown with a reddish or yellowish tint, and the more you use it, the deeper its flavor becomes.

We also have a "Roll Paper Case Cherry" in a different color.

Sustainable & Minimal

It eliminates plastic and paper packaging from tissue boxes, dramatically reducing packaging waste.

About Sanyu Co., Ltd.

Founded in 1982.

Based in the Sabae/Kawada area, this craft manufacturer combines the techniques of the lacquerware and eyeglasses industries to produce products that combine functionality and design.

The company's president, Mr. Igarashi, joined the family business at a young age and worked as an Echizen lacquerware painter.

At that time, it was common for children to take over their parents' family business, and I worked there with the feeling that "my parents are doing it, so I kind of do it."

But at that moment a turning point occurs.

A global brand that had heard of Sabae's technology asked us to make a display stand for a show, and the job turned out to be incredibly fun.

From then on, I started coming up with design ideas and creating things from scratch.

Igarashi has a strong love for Sabae.

We continue to focus on the technology that Sabae has to offer.

"My role is to connect and give shape to skills and materials, people and places of production," he says.

He says he wants more people to know about the wonderfulness of Sabae.

As in this case, we are always exploring possibilities, anticipating the times and trying crowdfunding for products we have designed ourselves.

We hope to spread the word not only as "makers" but also as "communicators" and pass on the development of our local area and the happy lives that traditional Japanese crafts bring to the next generation.
