These coffee mills are handmade by a traditional craftsman in Kamo City in Niigata Prefecture who has been keeping the tradition of Japanese chest making"Kiri-Tansu (chest)" alive in his lineage for 220 years.

Japanese are using Kiri (Paulownia) box to keep important stuff because of its moisture-free, fire-proof, insecticidal natural and its soft wood that doesn't damage its contents.
Since 1976, Kamo-city Kiri-Tansu became official traditional crafts of Japan and the products.
For any products which belong to the Kamo-city Kiri-Tansu Union are able to have the serial and logo on products, and this Kiri-coffee-mill has it too.
