Over the fifty years since, the workshop moved away from furniture and toward small wooden objects: shoehorns, frames, cases, pieces made to be picked up and handled. It is a category that calls for the fine handwork of an artisan alongside the precision needed to make many pieces consistently, and it now accounts for some 250 products, a number of which have been made continuously for more than twenty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.9; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.75); margin: 0 0 40px; text-align: left;\"\u003eOnly hardwoods are used, and color comes from the wood itself rather than from paint — walnut set against Hokkaido birch, ash grain left visible beneath a translucent finish. Each piece is turned and sanded largely by hand, so no two are quite the same. In recent years SASAKI has worked with designer Tadahito Ishibashi, independent since 2005 and a Good Design Award recipient, on objects that carry that quiet precision into everyday use; their Wooden Reversi received the Grand Prix at the 18th LIFE×DESIGN Award in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"By Emotion International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40914201084033,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3573\/7729\/files\/Sasaki_Pivot_Mirror.jpg?v=1787974505","url":"https:\/\/byemotion-intl.com\/products\/sasaki","provider":"By Emotion International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
