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.
