‘Magewappa’ is a traditional woodcraft of Akita Prefecture in the Tohoku region. Using Akita Cedar, the wood is carefully treated and bent into stunningly minimalist containers for storing and presenting food. You can make your own Magewappa during your visit to Odate City, also home of the world-famous ‘Hachiko’ Akita-inu. Read more about our Magewappa experience here:
