Shunji Kurimori is a well known master of Odate bentwood work, and the sixth generation proprietor of Kurikyu, which was established in 1874 in Odate City. Kurimori has received multiple awards for his works in Japan, and also exhibited in England, Australia, China and the U.S.

Kurikyu's bento lunch boxes have two levels that can be stacked on top of each other. Each level of the lunch box is open, without further compartments. The beautiful design emphasizes the simple elegance of the bentwood craft through the light color and natural grain of Japanese cedar. Dark cherry bark accents the ends where the magewappa sheets are bonded together.
