Now, shall we reclaim Japanese culture?

I want a simple, beautiful, modern chair. I want a chair that feels warm and fits my skin when I touch it. I want a chair that is sturdy, long-lasting, and gentle on both people and the environment. There are people who held similar desires—an admiration for high-quality and beautiful design—over a thousand years ago. These were the craftsmen known as "Hida no Takumi," who honed their skills as carpenters in the capital. They created beautiful buildings that were simple, robust, and showcased the charm of the materials, passing their techniques back to their hometown of Hida Takayama. The delicate traditions of Japanese culture have been preserved here and continue to thrive today. Nisshin Mokkō is committed to creating modern furniture in Hida Takayama, where the spirit and craftsmanship of these artisans are still deeply alive. In this blessed natural environment, modern furniture is produced by artisans who have inherited traditional techniques, designed to fit contemporary urban spaces. A chair born in the greenery of Hida enriches and comforts the living spaces of people in the city... The joy of this creation is likely not so far removed from the joy that ancient craftsmen felt in their work.
