Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten
柴田慶信商店
Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten utilizes 200-year old natural cedar wood from Akita Prefecture, said to be the most beautiful of all cedar wood in Japan. The time-honoured techniques involved in crafting each piece by hand and the beautifully aged wood used in creating these products make mage-wappa (bent woodware) an artform in itself. While delicate in form, these natural and functional creations are durable enough to withstand frequent use.
