I am a traditional wood carving craftsman in Shiga prefecture, and I usually make Buddhist altars.
With the recent decline in demand, we have developed hand-carved earrings by applying the technology cultivated in making Buddhist altars.
In order to show various expressions depending on the place to cut out and the angle of carving even the same tree, while determining the characteristics of the tree, the image of Lake Biwa showing a completely different expression depending on the season, time, place and angle is superimposed. I made "Biwako no Shizuku".
Please enjoy the unique wood earrings, whose color changes and becomes more delicious as time goes by.

History
High technical strength recognized by the Imperial family
In 1935, Ijiri Carving Studio opened its first "Suiun Ijiri" as a Suiun carving, and has since 80 years been devoted to making Kaminyu sculpture.
The first "Suiun Ijiri" had a reputation for its high technical strength so that he could be given the creation of offerings to the Crown Prince (present, now Majesty).
Even now, its reliable technical capabilities are handed down to the second and third generations.
Kaminyu in Shiga prefecture yonehara city with Ijiri Carving Studio is a woodcarving village where wood carving craftsmen with high technical skill gather.
A long time ago it was natural that there were Buddhist altars in the house, but with the recent westernization of lifestyle, the separation of the Buddhist altar of the young generation has progressed, and this high technology skill has become less visible to people's eyes It was.
Therefore, we launched the woodcarving accessory brand " Kiki " with the desire to "deliver craftsmanship handed down from our foundation to the hands of more people".
Characteristic
Accessories that cut out the daily routine of nature weaving
幾木 (kiki) is a wood carving accessory made by traditional craftsmen of Hikone Buddhist altar by hand carving one by one.
Inspired by the rich nature and livelihood of Shiga such as rural landscape spreading all over, flowering blooming along the river of spring water, Ibuki mountain where snow falls down, it expresses it with geometric figures.
By feeling the scenery we casually see, being happy to find the flowers that are blooming at the end of the road, getting strangled without thinking of small changes, or changing the view and thinking of things even if you are at the same place , People's minds become rich.
I would like to make accessories that will make you feel so cautious, feeling healing, care for something, by attaching accessory of kiki that cut out one frame of nature's everyday weaving.
