This is a wooden mosaic specialist on the shore of Lake Ashi in Hakone Town, Ashigarashimo County, Kanagawa Prefecture. The famous wooden mosaic of Odawara and Hakone is a turtle shell or checked pattern on a brightly colored wood block, often fashioned onto small items and accessories.

The accessories easy to adapt into everyday life, like the Yosegi Button featured on television, are particular favorites.
