PROFILE
Mariko KAWABATA
Green Woodworker/Spoon Carver
Representative of HÖBAL SPOON
It is a woodworking technique called green woodworking, which uses raw wood.
I mainly make table utensils such as spoons .
The process of making the logs is done using only hand tools.
It is important to me to listen to the voice of the raw wood while creating my work.
I turn small trees that are considered worthless into tools for daily life.
I aim to create products that will be a part of your life for a long time.
In addition to my creative activities, I also work on forest maintenance and hold workshops to increase the number of people who "grow forest trees and use them in their lives."
