Their new Japan Works collection of rulers showcases the traditional crafts of various areas of Japan, using ancient materials and techniques in a modern form.

Even if metric isn't your standard, the ruler is still great for drawing straight lines and for relative measurements.

Comes in a handsome presentation sleeve with information on the craft behind the ruler.

"Yosegi" is the traditional craft of parquetry, dating back to the Edo period.

The pattern highlights each type of wood used in the design.

The ruler has a notched edge, making it easier to pick up.
