Ohitsu are round wooden rice containers. Great vessels to keep cooked rice fresh and delicious. The masters at Shibata, with great care and experience, select the appropriate pieces of cedar wood with straight fibers, bend the prepared pieces in hot water and combine them with wild cherry bark. Once cooked rice or other moist food is added to the ohitsu, the natural cedar tree surface absorbs moisture. Rice does not become sticky and even after it cools down, the rice offers a delicious taste. Stored at room temperature, cooked rice can be safely kept for up to 24 hours and still tastes delicious.

Shibata Yoshimasa

\"My gratitude goes to all those who have guided me on my path and accompanied me. I firmly believe that it is worthwhile for all of us to preserve and develop traditional Japanese arts and crafts. in 1980, a customer approached me at a sales fair. He explained to me his idea of having a traditional OHITSU made from which rice could be scooped more easily. The OHITSU should therefore be round and made of bent wood. It took three years and many discussions with experts in woodworking before I succeeded in fulfilling this wish and making OHITSU and HANGIRI using traditional techniques and the right wood. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry awarded my products with the Good Design Award. But much more important was the satisfaction of my customers, which fills me with happiness until today. It is with great joy that I look forward to the years ahead, which I will use to continue making beautiful, practical and very durable Magewappa products from natural materials and enriching the lives of my customers with them.\"
