The company prides itself of its wooden buckets (OKE), which are handcrafted using a technique developed 700 years ago.<br />
During the EDO period, households used wooden buckets for bathing rituals and for storing rice and miso.<br />
Today these buckets are still as relevant as ever and are used for various purpose, such as champagne coolers, sushi bowl, bathtubs and as beautiful objects for everyday life.<br />

Dog bed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This sleek dog bed is based on the shape and construction of traditional Japanese wooden containers. Master craftsman Shuji Nakagawa used traditional joinery techniques to craft it, assembling pieces of Japanese umbrella pine into a smooth oval shape without using any nails. Nakagawa’s design forms a wooden shell with room for cushions and blankets to be placed inside.</div>

The collection </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shuji’s Precious Wood collection is an assortment of sleek vessels based on the shape and construction of traditional Japanese wooden containers. Classic designs, such as ricecontainers, miso canisters and water buckets were developed more than 500 years ago, and have been in continuous use ever since. Older still are the joinery techniques used to craft them, which assemble pieces of wood into smooth round vessels without using a single nail.</div>

Newly launched brand “Shuji” by a director Shigeo Mashiro of Sfera released its first series, “Precious wood”. We exhibited this beautiful rounded shape bucket, a fine combination of Kouyamaki (sciadopitys verticillata, Japanese umbrella pine) and Jindai-sugi (lignitised Japanese cedar, buried in the ground for longer than 2000 years) at MAISON&OBJET in January 2012 and 2013. Two trees are very precious as its name suggests. We are developing this series as an art object at the same time.<br />

It took a process of trial and error while Mr. Imai of LINK UP INC. kept visiting our studio. To meet his expectations for angular-shaped wooden buckets, I was spending days of testing the limits of the wood. I have thought that I should give up but I finally witnessed that the function, beauty and technique concentrated into one. When I reached the idea of making top part of the bucket sharp and the bottom part rounded enough so that a hoop would stay tight, all the designing and technical problems were resolved. The oval shape gives elegance and ease of use. This champagne cooler was a turning point of my creative activities.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, Konoha was selected as an official cooler for Dom Perignon. <br />

Shuji Nakagawa create his works using a various woodwork techniques especially<br />
Japanese traditional buckets (ki-oke) technique.His traditional wooden buckets (ki-oke) are made by arranging strips of woodinto a circle then binding them with a metal or bamboo strip on the outside. This technique is said to have been established in the Muromachi period in Japan, some 700 years ago. In the Edo period, virtually every household used this wooden bucket, in the bath, or in the kitchin for keeping rice or miso.<br />
Each family had many wooden buckets for various purposes. Although this item has been used for over 500 years, in contemporary times, it is rapidly disappearing. However, the techniques and embedded spirit for making this bucket still have value for today's lifestyle.<br />
Shuji aims to preserve continue this tradition and to further the beauty of wood and wooden buckets to incorporate them into modern life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
