Entry Description

We created a Shoji using fat wood, which is rich in resin.

Shoji is a Japanese sliding door. The fat wood is a precious material that can be extracted from resinous pine. By replacing Japanese paper with this material, we create Fat Wood Shoji. Fat Wood Shoji glows a bewitching red in the light.

The resin of pine, which has long been disliked because it is rich in resin and difficult to use, has been transformed into a beautiful material through various techniques and changed it to an advanced design.

We’ll recycle the forest resource.
