Takahashi Kogei
Kami glass S (Wooden Cup)
Made in
Japan
Wooden cup born out of respect for ultra-thin glass cups
This is a wooden cup made of Hokkaido wood, turned to a thickness of about 2 mm.
Wooden cups transfer heat slowly, so even when freshly brewed coffee is poured into them, they do not get too hot, even without handles.
Inspired by glass cups, the craftsman used his thinning technique to create this cup, which is called "Kami Glass" (Kami means paper in Japanese).
It is reminiscent of the design of a paper cup. The surprising lightness and thinness of the glass makes the cup very pleasant to the palate and enhances the taste of the beverage.
Made in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, where wood resources are abundant and woodworking is widespread.
The cups are made of lightweight, well-grained Hokkaido wood and are coated with a food-grade coating that prevents color reflection and staining. Tableware by Takahashi Kougei, who originally made wooden furniture legs. They are particular about locally produced materials. Please also see the "Manufacturers" section.
For that special someone, Give the gift of long life design
It is more resistant to breakage than glass or ceramics and is loved by many people. Each Takahashi Kougei item is shipped in a box, making it a great gift idea. Give the gift of long-life design to your family, friends, or someone special in your life.

Takahashi Kougei (Woodworker Hidetoshi Takahashi)
Takahashi Kougei produces wheel-thrown wooden tableware in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan. He makes use of the original color and grain of the wood as it is, and is conscious of the usability of wood in everyday life. He stands at the wheel with Japanese product designers Masanori Ohji and Rina Ono, and the three of them create products while checking the feel of the wheel.
Takahashi buys the trees while they are still planted in the mountains, cuts them down, and lets them rest for several years to allow warping and shrinkage to settle before he begins working with them. He selects the best parts of each piece and carefully finishes them by hand, a truly artisanal process.
