Fusion of unique form and mechanics

Prior to making Karakuri Boxes, I was making wooden tumble doll and music boxes.
I also have experience making creative musical instruments and accessories.
I desire to make products that have an impact and something lovely to hold in the hands. Based on the combination of wood and the shape of the structure of the widget, it often happens that motifs such as animals float. I cherish playfulness as I work on my products.
