唐木と一般的に呼ばれるのは、紫檀、黒檀、花林、鉄刀木でタイや台湾などの熱帯の高地に育つ木です。その堅牢な材の醸し出す高貴な雰囲気は他の材とは一線を画すものがあります。
また大阪は江戸時代より唐木指物の産地として数多くの問屋が集中し栄えた場所でもあり、現在では国（通産省）の伝統的工芸品の指定を受けています。
このように長い歴史に培われた職人芸を現代に生かすことをテーマに、新しい唐木指物に取り組んでいます。

KARAKI MODERNO
modern joinery technique using Karaki

Ebony, Sandal wood, Chinese quince and Tagayasan are generally called Karaki. Although this term means precious materials from old China, these timbers are in fact grown in tropical areas such as Taiwan and Thailand.
The solid textures and noble, rich colours of these timbers are distinctive, and render them particularly attractive as furniture wood.

The city of Osaka, the main commercial city of western Japan, has 300years a canter(English, or center, American) for the manufacture and distribution of Karaki joinery. During this time, a tradition of fine furniture has developed. all the items (tables,shelves etc) are constructed entirely from wooden components, and no metal nails are used in the joinery.

To this long and excellent hand craft tradition, I wish to bring a new and fresh touch adding to the distinctive charm of the old masters'(genetive plural) techniques in the manufacturing of Karaki joinery.
