Tsukihikari
A woodworking brand that values the deep connection between nature and humans.
The three elements in the name—"Moon," "Sun," and “Wild geese”—represent the cycle of nature and express the brand's commitment to spreading the philosophy of woodworking rooted in daily life.
Moon
Represents the lifestyle of people who have lived in harmony with trees and responded to the waxing and waning of the moon, a practice that has existed since ancient times.
Sun
Shows how trees deeply root themselves in the earth and grow toward the sun, embodying the cycle that connects the heavens and the earth.
Wild Geese
A bird that flies long distances in flocks, establishing new lives at its destinations, and is considered a symbol of harmony, expressing the bond and sense of belonging.
Tsukihikari products
These are wooden tools that accompany everyday life, embodying the hope that humans and wood will connect, leaving the mark of time within the cycle of nature.
Wood, grown over many years, crystallizes into the stories and personalities of individual trees. By applying the art of woodworking, these trees become familiar tools in people's lives, continuously marking time. Furthermore, the forest from which the wood is harvested nurtures new life, continuing the cycle of renewal. The aim of Tsukihi Kamo is to harmonize these two moments of time.
The Tsukihikari mark
The motif is a wild goose, which symbolizes bonds and harmony. The way the wild goose flies far away and then returns represents my own mindset of spreading the word and living in connection with nature. The outer circle of the wild goose represents the moon and sun, and each product is engraved with the phases of the moon at the time the tree was felled. This engraving expresses the individuality of the wood as a memory of the time it was engraved into the wood.
The harmony of two times
Trees that have been crafted with artisanal techniques become tools that mark the passage of time. Furthermore, forests that have been cut down will develop new life, and the time of regeneration will continue.
I believe it is important to look at the forest in order to achieve harmony between these two times.
Currently, it is said that it is difficult to conserve and utilize Japan's broadleaf forests. Therefore, consistent management from forest surveys, tree selection, felling, harvesting, sawing, and drying is valuable. Tsukihigari will continue to work with organizations that manage such forests.
