Wood

WOODWORK STUDIO TANIKAWA

I feel the greatest happiness in being able to work with wood.

There are many other places that make industrial products that are mass-produced. It is precisely because they are not made in factories that we are able to make some of them.

I feel happy to be able to process such wood by hand and to be able to offer the warmth of wood to as many people as possible.

ARTISAN STORY

Tanikawa Woodwork Studio
Tanikawa Woodwork Studio was founded in 1955 in Miki-machi, Kida-gun, Kagawa Prefecture, as a sushi barrel manufacturer.
Since its establishment, the warmth of wood created by hands has been our most important value.
Using domestically grown Japanese cedar, we are one of the few remaining bucket makers in Kagawa Prefecture, offering wooden products centering on buckets.

TANIGAWA MOKKOGEI / JAPANESE WOOD CRAFT

About 100 years ago / 1900s / Modern Japan

Tanigawa woodcraft represents a workshop-based tradition of turning and joinery that uses regional timber for vessels and daily tools. In the modern era, production developed around household needs, emphasizing visible grain, comfortable forms and finishes that allow wood to remain tactile.

In Japan, this kind of woodwork sits naturally beside ceramics and metalware on the everyday table. Wooden vessels transmit heat slowly, are light in the hand and do not shatter as easily as ceramic, making them especially practical for soup bowls and children’s tableware.

A woodworker reads far more than species. Hardness, moisture and the position of the annual rings determine how a piece may move after carving. Material selection therefore involves imagining not only the object at completion, but how the wood may distort several years into the future.

Individual Differences

As each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in color, pattern, shape, and texture may occur. These subtle differences are a natural characteristic of handcrafted works, making each piece truly unique. We hope you will enjoy these individual variations as part of the beauty and character of Japanese craftsmanship.

Production Time

If an item is not currently in stock, it may be made to order by the artisan. As each piece is carefully handcrafted, production may take several months depending on the item and the artisan's schedule. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
