Do you know Takashi Tomii, a woodworker from Niigata? His works have a warmth and taste of wood that cannot be found in mass-produced products, and have a charm that makes you want to stay with them for a long time. His works have a warmth and flavor that cannot be found in mass-produced products, and have a charm that makes you want to stay in touch with them for a long time. Born in 1976, Mr. Tomii studied abroad in Oregon in the U.S., where forestry is thriving, during his high school years, and upon his return to Japan, he became interested in making things with wood and living in nature. He majored in physics until graduate school, but realized he was not suited for it, so he made a sudden change and chose the path of woodworking, which he loves. After joining a company and training under a craftsman, he started his own business and won the Rookie of the Year Award at the 86th National Exhibition in 2012 and the Associate Member Excellence Award at the 93rd National Exhibition in 2007. In 2012, he won the Newcomer's Prize at the 86th Kunitachi Exhibition, and in 2007, he won the Associate Member's Prize at the 93rd Kunitachi Exhibition. Among Tomii's works, we selected a stacked box made of chestnut wood. The beautifully carved patterns are surprisingly detailed, and the finish conveys his personality. You will understand its value when you hold it in your hand.

Scandinavian design is represented by Arne Jacobsen and Alvar Aalto. Their simple, modern, and beautiful products have established a genre in the world of design and are now being used in a wide range of fields, including furniture, general merchandise, fashion, and more. Here we introduce a newcomer to the Scandinavian design scene, "Aalke. This brand may not be familiar to you, but that's because it is a manufacturer of soda servers from Stockholm, Sweden. Usually, bottled soda is the norm, but if you can make your own soda, there is no need to go to the supermarket or online store and buy it in bulk. The beauty of the "AARKE" is its design. The beautiful all-stainless steel design is sure to look great on the dining table or in the kitchen. It is also easy to use. Just insert the gas cylinder (sold separately) from the bottom of the unit and you are ready to go. All that is left is to set the special bottle filled with water and press the lever. You can adjust the carbonation to your liking: one push for weak carbonation, one push for carbonation, and one push for strong carbonation, so there is no need to worry that the sizzle will be too much. Of course, the bottle comes with a lid, so excess soda water can be stored in the refrigerator. It is a unit that gives us a sense of the new Scandinavian design.

Playing cards, the national game, is one of the most popular games in Japan. Consisting of spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs, and jokers, the cards have been used in fierce battles all over Japan. One of the most classic of all is "Bubba-daki," or the game of "Baba-no-Nugiri," in which the winner draws a joker at the end. The desperation of drawing the joker at the end of the game is a real thrill that cannot be found in video games. In recent years, the "Air Deck" has revolutionized this standardized world of playing cards. Usually playing cards are that rectangular size, but this one is half that size, super long! As the "ultimate travel playing cards" claim, it can easily fit in a pants pocket (H89 x 34 x D19 mm) and is lightweight. The best part is that it is waterproof and washable. The durable PVC material means there is no need to worry about it tearing, making it the perfect playing card for the "With Corona" era. The product was developed using the U.S. crowdfunding sites "Kickstarter" and "IndieGoGo" and raised a total of more than 80 million yen in support. I don't know if he is a revolutionary warrior or a nobleman of the playing card world, but it is worthwhile to have one.
