Bring back a loving colored leaf to your homeland.

These elaborate colored leaves carved from wood will tell your family about the impressive autumn sceneries you enjoyed. 

Not only cherry blossoms in spring, but colored leaves in autumn are unique for Japan and embody the beauty of being transient. You cannot keep their color and shape of yellow or crimson leaves for long. These leaves are craved from wood as thin as they can be, and some have a reinforcement which adds elegance to a leaf. 

Green House

In the Kawasaki area merely 100 years ago, the sea was shallow for some distance and people enjoyed swimming. On the land, fruit trees such as pears, persimmons and peaches were widely cultivated. The atelier of wood-craving is named after the former scenery of rich nature.
