I received this as a souvenir last month (February 2026). - Brand: Shiratani Koubou The wood used in the works is from dismantled old houses or scraps from construction sites. The wood, which has endured wind and snow for many years, has a different texture from freshly cut wood, making the works more unique. With the desire to cherish the wood, each piece is carefully handmade with designs and techniques that make the most of the carpenter's craftsmanship. If the luster fades or scratches become noticeable, apply plant-based oil such as olive oil or camellia oil, and then wipe it off with a dry cloth to restore the shine.
