Hand engraved pieces are not carved by a machine.

Ranked equally with the finest quality wood grain of 'Mikurajima-hon-tsuge', 'Satsuma-hon-tsuge', with its hard and tenacious wood, is also referred to as 'Practicality is Satsuma-hon-tsuge'.

'Kujaku-moku' is a beautiful pattern of the wood grain spreading out from the bottom towards the top part of the piece like 'a peacock with its wings spread', giving it its strong point.
Since Kujaku-moku only appears at the part of the tree where it branches out, only enough wood for a few pieces can be taken from one tree.
Therefore, in order to complete a set of Kujaku-moku pieces, multiple boxwood materials with similar wood coloring are required.
*Please check the images.

"Kouen" features flowing, continuous lines and a bold, dignified typeface.
"Kouen" is a typeface in which First Keizan (Mr. Tsunemaru Mito) added his own unique arrangement to the traditional Osaka carving of koma-ji.
