2023 "Your Chair" Project 2023 Design Toru Asakura
History of Kyoto Sumiyama Asakura Woodworking
Completed from April to November 2009
After working at a furniture production company in Kanto for eight years, he returned to his hometown of Kansai and opened a business. The time is the year after the Lehman Shock, and the economy is in the midst of a recession.
Thinking about how to continue making furniture for a living, at the workshop, home and showroom
A style where you can see the furniture that has actually been used and receive orders directly.
A half-self-build of the 1st floor studio, 2nd floor home and shop in the coal mine in Uji City. Materials from Kyoto Prefecture (cedar, cypress, pine) are used. I went to a carpenter's workshop in Kita Ward, Kyoto for a month, and experienced not only carving work common to furniture, such as planing and digging holes for corners, but also hand carving wooden houses with tenon joints using the conventional framework construction method. The experience of making a house by ourselves is very useful for making furniture.
↓ 2009 home building record summary slide show (1 minute) It will start automatically. There is also an arrow in the lower right.
First delivery in 2010
● Delivered the first order furniture.
Since then, we have mainly produced furniture based on requests from general households and store owners.

The first 5 years until I got on track were crazy. We struggled with the support of those who ordered furniture from us, who have few delivery cases. At first, the equipment in the workshop was not enough, a child was born, and even though I was helped by my parents who lived in the neighborhood, I was in a turmoil. Many times I have had a meeting with a child who is not weaned on my back and asked for measurements.

It gave us a lot of confidence and encouragement that Ichiju Nisa Ueno Toyonaka Branch entrusted us with a big job that had just opened.
●2010/5/14-16 "Woodworkers Week 2010 in NAGOYA" "Woodworkers Chairs Collection" Exhibition of 100 chairs by 57 artists. Hosted by the Woodworker Week Executive Committee, at 3-6-1 Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya City, on the 1st floor of the Lasik department store. Exhibited four chairs.
At this Nagoya exhibition, customers who saw Asakura Mokko's chairs invited us to their homes on the same day to show them our chair collection.
Exhibited in Nagoya for 10 years since then. Furniture works create encounters with people, which lead to further encounters... I was blessed with such a grateful relationship.

year 2012
A landslide isolated from a landslide due to heavy rains and landslides at a coal mine. Power outages for days. There is also the experience of being transported with food poisoning from relief supplies onigiri.
September Yuzuri is the second solo exhibition. The book "Wooden Furniture and Utensils for a Lifetime: From the Workshops of 28 Woodworkers in Kansai" written by Hideaki Nishikawa was published.
This book was published by the first Hokkaido version when Asakura aspired to woodworking. Next is Shinshu. Interviews were proceeding from the north.
At that time, the author remembered a work that was selected for a competition outside the company while making furniture at the company, and immediately approached me when I became independent.
In 2015, as a result of that book, I was interviewed by Asahi Broadcasting TV (ABC TV) "LIFE Yume no Katachi", including my former teacher Ryosaku Tateda.
Mr. N, Mr. O, Mr. H, Mr. Y, who are the furniture clients, and local people were also able to perform.

2015-
The ban on lacquer work, which had been sealed only after getting on track, was lifted from the sixth year. The width of the work has spread a lot.
From April 2016
It was a studio where a couple worked together, but they welcomed their first staff. As of 2020, it is produced by 2 staff members, a total of 4 people.
Our staff works hard every day. We take turns making lunch together and eating it together.
(Postscript: From March 2022, lunch is now individual due to the corona disaster)
Autumn 2019
A showroom is open in a 1-minute walk from the workshop.

"Your chair" projectI was in charge of the design for 2023.
展示会の記録
Raised in a coal mine. Solo exhibition at Kyoto Sanjo in 2009. Since then, he has continued to produce uniquely attractive animal sculptures, wood carvings, and paintings.
I grew up touching ceramics from an early age. After working at the Notojima glass studio, he established a glass studio in Sumiyama and continues to this day. (From gallery 365 artist introduction)
(Gallery 365 is an online shop specializing in glass artist works.)
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
Sakurako Araki's glasses are on display at Asakura Mokko's showroom.
Mr. Araki's glass works are for cooking dressing, and are just the right size to be served on the dining table.
I have created works according to the times. With elements such as sensibility, technology, and life at that time,
I have made various things. I think it was the best work I could have done at that time. ”
Beauty emerges from technique, and the result is a vessel that complements the food. Kyoto's rich culture exists not only in single objects, but also in food, utensils, kimonos, fittings, architecture, gardens, etc., where many layers of traditional techniques are incorporated into the overall harmony.
What has supported us is the “manufacturer” who does it smoothly and continues to evolve.
At the Asakura woodworking showroom, this lid, a set of gyokuro bowls and teapots, and usuzukuri works are on display.
In addition, since the color is black, the color of the resin is not noticeable. He also produced an incense burner.
