木がベースに使用されている珍しいコンパクト。第2次世界大戦の間は金属が不足し、木やプラスチックが用いられたのです。そんな社会状況の中で作られたとは思えないほど、木の感触と質感が優しく、豊かな生活を想像させます。

An unusual compact made of wood. During WWII, metal was in short supply, and compacts were frequently made of wood or plastic. The texture of this compact is so warm and smooth that it feels almost luxurious, and you would hardly believe it was produced in such hard times.
