Traditional woodcrafts are rich in life. They have been passed down through history for many generations. One of these, Hakone-mosaics, is very fascinating visually. They are known for having delicate and soft-hearted designs. So, the combination of Hakone-mosaics and Karakuri, mesh to create highly intriguing products. We make products with characteristic of Hakone-mosaics. I'd like to make more pleasant products like these. |
