The family names of this husband and wife team reflects the dual heritage of Britain and Japan. Using local (Devon) materials and methods combined with the skills, tools and influence of Japan the couple make a range of homeware as well as larger pieces of furniture.

The beauty of slowly air dried hardwoods is maximised with loving and careful carving often incorporating knots, voids and natural cracks. The finishes are as natural as possible; the chopping boards are treated with a home made finish of mineral oil and pure beeswax from Dartmoor.
