| Comments: | Non-modular octagonal boxes like these are very challenging to make because of the many precise pre-creases required and the use of a tricky "twist-down" technique.
Scoring the pre-creases helps a lot, and the several different types of paper used here are all strong enough to take scoring without tearing and to hold sharp creases without breakthrough at corners.
I love all of the papers included in this set of boxes, but my special favorite is the elegant Yuzen washi featuring white cranes on a background of traditional patterns with blue and brown as the predominant colors. This paper has rich gold highlights typical of the Yuzen style.
I should also note that the sapphire blue metallic kozo paper was particularly well-suited to making the complex Flower Dome lid (upper right corner of top image at left.) |
