Paulownia (kiri) wood, from the cedar family, is a traditional material for Japanese storage boxes, known as kiribako. The wood is prized for its lightness and protective properties, particularly its restistence to warping and repelling of insects, which safeguards valuable items like ceramics, tea sets, and kimonos in Japan's humid climate
