Flexing his skills, Mr. Sosogi made the iconic stacking wood bento box in the bean-shape, kawaii cuteness to the max!  Why beans?  Because beans are auspicious symbols for longevity, loyalty and health.  It is also known to have the power to ward off the evils. So this simple rounded form is loved by many in Japan.  They make very special presents as to gifting luck and health.  
 
Not to mention stacking wood bento box is probably the most iconic traditional Japanese wood bento box of it all!  For ease of storage and carrying, it also transforms into a small compact object. It comes with an extra lid so you can also use it as 2 independent bento boxes.  It's like getting 2 separate bento boxes for the price of 1.  Versatility rocks!  Check out the rectangle version or Oval version you are a pragmatic minimalist. 
 
Bentwood Artisan Masaji Sosogi made this exclusively for Goenne.  Carrying a heritage of 400 years, Issochi regional style bento box is made with 2 different kinds of woods (cedar and cypress).  It gives the box a whole different level of natural wood aroma.
