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.
