A Supplemental Statement about Our Vision

Against the backdrop of the eternal forest and the continuous culture of craftsmanship dating back to the Asuka period (c.7th century), in 1920 a group of like-minded locals eager for the development of the region began making bentwood furniture using beech, then considered to be useless wood. Thanks to the single-minded effort and determination of our predecessors, Hida has developed into one of Japanʼ s most iconic furniture producing regions.
The Heart and Skill of Craftsmen means keeping people in mind, continuity over time, perfecting our art, and walking with the forest.
Just as we have sent out furniture into the world that emphasizes the charm of knots and Japanese cedar, we will continue to explore forest resources, be a driving force for their utilization, and bring the warmth of wood to peopleʼ s lives.
Desiring a place where new creations are possible, a place that draws people together with its charm, our vision is to make Hida, the birthplace of the company, hallowed ground for woodworkers.
