Half-Moon Boxwood Comb
by: Jusan-Ya
$145
Kyoto, Japan
"Boxwood combs have a long history in Japan as both supernatural objects and cosmetic accessories. Today the combs are appreciated, as much for their aesthetic beauty as their functionality and Jusun-Ya has become renowned for their high-quality versions. Since 1875, the company has been using original production methods from the Nara period (8th C.). They gather boxwood boards, fumigate the wood, then store the bundles for ten years making them thoroughly dry and warp resistant. When the wood is ready, each comb tooth is measured by eye and sawed by hand. The combs are resistant to static electricity and help promote healthy hair. We love how the teeth will smooth out and glide easier with frequent use and how the amber colour of the wood deepens with age! In contemporary times, many of the combs have a multi-purpose function. The Half-Moon Boxwood Comb is used as an everyday comb or pocket comb for regular hair."
Additional Details:
- Handmade in Japan
- Do not dip combs in water
- Avoid combing wet hair
- Coat liberally with vegetable oil (camellia or olive) and place in plastic bag for 2-3 days to clean comb

The Sliding Match Safe
by: Best Made Co.
$28
United States of America
Firestarters for the home have long been in decline — all too often the clunky barbecue lighter is used for everything from birthday candles to campfires. We designed the Sliding Match Safe to give the most versatile firestarter, the humble strike-anywhere match, a proper home that offers safe storage, has a knurled-brass knob for striking, and is handsome enough to be kept outside the kitchen drawer. With the Sliding Match Safe next to the fireplace or on the kitchen table, there will never be a room without the warm glow of flame, and you’ll find that relying on the match keeps your fire building skills sharp: start up the wood stove with just one match, and you’re a regular Nessmuk. -Best Made Co.
Additional Details:
- Sliding match tray stamped with “Best Made”
- Knurled knob for striking surface
- Secure magnetic closure
- Does not ship with matches
Dimensions: 4.75” x 2.85” x 1.40"
