This box is crafted from sturdy, leather-like cardboard and reinforced with metal corner brackets and rivets.
The advertisement on this box refers to a well-known Japanese cosmetic product for women, "露白" (Ro Haku), which literally means "White Dew": a type of traditional Japanese face powder or beauty product designed to give the skin a pale, white appearance.
This robust box is perfect for storing books or magazines and, with its warm color and beautiful Japanese characters, serves as a unique and rare eye-catcher in any stylish interior.
