Masters of Japan Vol.1 – 110 Years of Traditional Japanese Woodworking in Tokyo | by Wabunka

Описание: ■About this Video
In this first episode of the Masters of Japan series, meet Yutaka Mogami, a third-generation master of Edo sashimono, a traditional Japanese woodworking technique with over a century of history. Learn how this craft creates nail-free furniture that balances strength with refinement, and the concept of “Edo elegance.”

■In this Episode – Edo Sashimono Master Yutaka Mogami
Founded in 1912, the Mogami Kogei workshop carries over 110 years of Edo sashimono woodworking tradition. Third-generation master Yutaka Mogami is an expert in traditional joinery techniques and creates functional, elegant furniture that suit modern living.

■Yutaka Mogami’s Philosophy
The beauty of Edo sashimono lies in its elegant yet deceptively strong form, and in the hidden details where true craftsmanship shows itself. With inherited tools and refined skills, Mogami Kogei honors tradition while creating pieces for modern living. Through hands-on experiences, Yutaka Mogami hopes guests will feel both the legacy of the craft and the joy of making something themselves.
