KOYA vase, centerpiece, wine cooler                                                                               KOYASAN, JP    

This vase is a symbol of the co-creation of nature and human wisdom that Japan has cultivated.
The design is a fusion of human wisdom and nature while staying close to the shapes created by nature.
It is a collaboration with the craftsmanship of skilled woodworkers.
Trees have healing effects such as ``calming down,'' ``relaxing,'' and ``feeling warmth.''
The design, which takes advantage of the natural wood expression as much as possible, is created by a master craftsman.A board split along the annual rings is carved and tightened with hoops to create a three-dimensional design with a soft and functional design.
It is a vessel whose appearance changes from the bottom upwards, as if nature is bubbling up.
Aiming for a nature-centered design that combines natural beauty, mindless beauty, material beauty, and functional beauty.It is a work.


この器は、日本が育んだ自然と人間の智の共創の象徴である。自然の創り出した造形に寄り添いながら、人間の智と自然を融合したデザインは、
熟練木工職人の匠の技とのコラボレーションである。木には癒しの効果があり、日本文化・日本の歴史の中に重要な役割を果たしてきた。
自然の木の表情をできるだけそのまま生かしたデザインは、匠の手により、年輪に沿って割った板を削り、タガで締め付け立体にし、柔らかくデザインされた機能的  な底面から、上方向に向かって自然が沸き立つように姿を変えていく器であり、
自然美、無心の美、素材美、機能美を併せ持つ、ネイチャーセンタードデザインを目指した  作品である
