Portraits of Zouki

For about 30 years, I have been working with Zouki - wood from felled trees - from the Shonan and Izu Peninsula areas of Japan.
In their untouched state, trees are majestic things.
As a creator, I whittle, carve, sculpt - working with and against the unique shape and vigor of each tree.

Atelier

Production in proximity to the elements.
A workshop enclosed by nature.

There are several production bases scattered along the Shonan coast.
The production environment is a crucial element of the process - there are no enclosed buildings at the workshop to shelter us from wind and rain. The location is beautiful, brimming with abundant nature, yet is a harsh environment subject to the weather and climate.
Our showroom in Oiso offers a space where we are proud to show our work in a relaxed, sheltered atmosphere.

The (Zougei) Workshop in Yugawara

Home of production
The workshop in Yugawara - the southern tip of Kanagawa Prefecture - is located on a mountain ridge, surrounded by citrus groves and overlooking the sea. On sunny days, the islands of the Izu Archipelago are beautiful to behold and sometimes, on the very distant horizon, the Tokyo Skytree tower is visible. The work area spans about 6,600 square meters of untamed nature, where we are blessed to work immersed in the elements.
This site has been the center of production for the past 30 years.

Oisonoike Workshop

The Oisonoike Workshop is a 10-minute drive from the Oiso showroom. It is a grass field with beautiful natural weeds. The workshop is accessible to large vehicles, and we are able to handle large trees - such as zelkovas, tabs, and cypress.

It has a studio and a showroom. The stained glass windows are said to be the most beautiful in Japan. In the afternoon, the sun shines beautifully through the mountain trees into the exhibition room.
