SDGs initiativesOur company originally started making small items using scraps of wooden furniture. We also make effective use of thin wood that cannot be used for furniture making. In addition, we are conscious of using up all the wood by reusing the wood waste that is produced during processing for heating in the winter. In recent years, we have been taking on the challenge of applying our woodworking techniques to create new accessories by processing offcuts of artificial marble. We approach manufacturing from a broad perspective, not just in the field of woodworking.

This technique is literally a technique of making washi paper by flowing "paper stock". Scoop up the paper stock and drain it. Scooping and draining... This is a technique in which this process is repeated to stack up paper layers to make the paper thicker, and by moving the girder and pouring it down, the raw material fibers that become the "paper stock" intertwine, creating durable paper "Washi".Our company uses both techniques to create handmade washi paper, and has continued to cherish and pass down local traditions.
