A toy in which marbles shaped like drops travel through leaves and randomly roll out of three holes in a tree stump. Try placing a squirrel to predict where it will come out, or try chasing a rolling marble. The sound of marbles rolling on a carefully carved stump is a pleasant sound that only wood can make. Using solid domestic natural wood, each piece is carefully finished by craftsmen in our workshop in Hida Takayama.

(60)) [Oak Village] Since our founding in 1974, we have continued to create products using the renewable resource of wood, with the aim of creating a sustainable, recycling-oriented society. Utilizing the traditional construction method of ``kikumi'' and our extensive knowledge of wood, we work on a wide range of products, from furniture, toys, stationery, lacquerware, and other woodwork to wooden buildings. [Material] Utilizing Japanese solid wood in the right place. Approximately 80% of Japan's land is covered in forest, and in order to make effective use of its forest resources, we are particular about using domestically produced materials and propose a lifestyle in harmony with the environment. In Japan, where a wide variety of trees grow, we are particularly active in using hardwoods. The hardwoods grown in Japan come in a wide variety of varieties and are highly dense materials, each with a rich variety of expressions. In contrast to softwoods such as cedar and cypress, which grow quickly and are straight, hardwoods such as oak and birch are materials that require high lumber and processing techniques tailored to the characteristics of the tree species. After understanding the characteristics of each tree species, such as the expression and strength of wood grain and color, we aim to fully utilize the forest resources around us by putting the right material in the right place. [Technology] Making full use of Hida's craftsmanship to create products that can be used for a long time.In order to maximize the beauty and durability of solid wood, we use the "wood framing" technique inherited by Japanese craftsmen. We aim to create products that can be used for a long time, spanning generations. For wood framing, advanced processing technology is essential in order to understand the characteristics of wood as a material and use construction methods appropriate for the purpose. This construction method is a traditional method that the Japanese have cultivated since ancient times, but we have evolved it further and are developing techniques that are suitable for the structures and uses of modern furniture and woodwork. [Design] In order to bring out the charm of wood to its fullest, design is not only about the pursuit of sculptural beauty, but also about usability and safety, as well as how to give form to the properties and atmosphere of the material. It is also an important element to reflect. Therefore, we reflect the idea of ``the right material in the right place'' in our designs, and strive to bring out the charm of wood to the fullest. For example, the ``Kabano Desk'' series is made from birch, a broad-leaved tree that grows abundantly in Japan. The design emphasizes the edges, which can only be expressed by the hard and dense wood. The wooden toy ``Anomatope'' incorporates motifs of primitive shapes found in nature, such as stones and tree branches, and is designed to help infants and toddlers connect more easily with the outside natural world.
