Our commitment to wood

The forests of Japan are home to many species of wood with rich individuality.
Among them, we use carefully selected wood from Izumo in Shimane Prefecture, a mythical land rich in nature.

Making of things that are harmonious with nature

No two pieces of wood are alike, and each piece is crafted by highlighting the grain, color, and character of the wood.
Even the smallest amount of scrap material is utilized to its fullest extent to find value.

SUSTAINABLE ATTEMPT

Creating products while inheriting the tradition of Kiyoshi Funaki, a modern master.

Skilled, proven techniques and innovative ideas.
Making products one by one with greatest care.
