If the border was a wall,
no light would shine in.
If the border was a sheet of glass,
no shadow would be born.
The “kumiko” fittings create a world in between the outside and the inside.
The outside and inside, the light and shadow.
Not just separating or connecting.
It embodies Japan’s unique and delicate aesthetics that puts faith in to the four seasons and auspiciousness.
What we, Yoshihara Woodworking want to make
is not just a tool to part spaces.
The beauty of the light and shadow, created from the partition.
To glance outside, and imagine inside
in a harmonic, nostalgic yet new way.
It is the beautiful “border” born in Japan.
