[Kids Design Award Winner] The cross-section of a box. Discovering things by changing your perspective. When you cut a box in half, it becomes like a puzzle, like building blocks, and like interesting building blocks. These building blocks become even more fun when played with together with dolls, toy cars, glass marbles, and collected nuts. Like hacohaco, it is manufactured using traditional techniques that fully bring out the characteristics of domestically produced paulownia wood. It can be used for a lifetime as a paulownia box to store important things as your child grows, or as a display case or pedestal.
Utilizing the techniques of paulownia wood box manufacturing, and from the perspective of wood education, these building blocks are not simply wooden blocks, but rather a combination of building blocks, puzzles, and art, yet are constructed from boxes. They are suitable as gifts for birthdays, kindergarten entrance celebrations, and other occasions. These building blocks are safe, taking advantage of the properties of domestically produced paulownia wood, which is light, soft, antibacterial, insect-repellent, and mold-resistant. In addition to fostering children's thinking skills, they also have a purpose similar to Montessori sensory education. Putting away the boxes after play becomes a game in itself; as children freely put the boxes together like a puzzle, they automatically become neat and tidy objects that can be displayed. If you put them together according to the rules, they can be stored compactly, accommodating both display and hidden storage.
Why not give the gift of Masuda Kiribako's "Giza Giza"? It's a toy that not only sparks excitement the moment it's taken out of the box, but also transforms "tidying up" into a fun game as the child puts it back together like a puzzle house. The surprisingly lightweight paulownia wood has a gentle feel with rounded corners and excellent humidity control and insect-repellent properties, making it a safe first toy for delicate children. Its sophisticated appearance, which has won a Kids Design Award, transcends the boundaries of a mere toy, exuding a special presence that will be appreciated by parents as a decorative item in the living room. Even after its role as a toy is over, it will continue to be a cherished "lifetime" item, a storage box that protects precious memories and treasures, accompanying the child into adulthood. Give this warm and lasting gift to someone special.
