Made of Tabunoki (Japanese evergreen tree) grown in Kagoshima. The trees are harversted under control to prevent exploitation, and the sliced lumber are dried before the carving.
Due to multiple procedures, the Jincup is said to be hard to find because of the limited production each year. Now the icon appears in a variety of shapes, sides, and color.

Akihiro Woodworks

A woodworker based in Kagoshima, Japan.
Their wide-ranging activities include custom-made furniture, original products, and interior designing.
The drying period of the wood used for materials varies depending on the thickness and species, but it takes 3 to 5 years until it's dry enough for carving. Although nowadays it's possible to obtain high-quality lumber from all over the world, they create products by learning about the cycles of forests around the neighborhood, and pursuing shapes that suit the character of the lumber they use.

Artist : Jin Akihiro
From straight lines to curves, from curves to surfaces, his powerful three-dimensional construction draws the user into the work.
He is an alien who considers the development of original products as an"installation work". The market is like a canvas on which he dances wildly.
“If I make good products, more people will use them, and to carry on this cycle is one thing we can do for a better future. We are on a journey to find a standard of good quality, for ourselves and for you.”

Exhibition : THE SHOW  6.3 SAT - 6.18 SUN, 2023

Note: Each piece is hand work by the artist, even the same piece will have a slightly different expression.
