Throughout its long history, since its founding 170 years ago, the philosophy of these craftsmen has been respectfully preserved and passed down from generation to generation.
Long ago, the mountain cherry tree had the same name as the birch tree: Kaba. That is why cherry bark work is called Kabazaiku, or "birch work". Our craftsmen use the most natural materials and always strive to let the wood express itself in their work. Our Kabazaiku series is not only functional but also elegant, to decorate your table.
Cherry barkCherry bark is an eco-friendly material as it will regrow after being harvested. Cherry bark ware mainly have two different kinds of finishes: the one is Marble, that retains the appearance of the raw bark ; the other is Natural, whose surface is thinly scraped to a polish. The surfaces of tea caddies will grow more lustrous the more you handle them.

March 3 is Hina matsuri in Japan. Hina matsuri is a celebration for all little girls. The origin of this tradition dates back to the Heian period. On this day, the family drinks Amazake (a non-alcoholic sweet drink made from rice) and decorates the house with peach and cherry blossom to celebrate the day. In the days leading up to the event, Japanese dolls are displayed in the house, much to the delight of little girls. These dolls, known as Hina Ningyo in Japanese, are specially created for the event. They are sometimes passed down from generation to generation in the family. They represent characters from the imperial court of the Heian period.
There's also a belief that dolls must be put away on the evening of 3 March, otherwise the girls in the house won't be able to get married. So on that day, Japanese fathers work hard to put the dolls away :)
We started our Vlog with videos to better describe our objects, their dimensions and their daily use.
