〈 Caring for Wooden Ware 〉

Natural wood is highly sensitive to water, heat, and direct flame. For this reason, the surface is protected and coated with a delicate layer of lacquer, natural oil, or beeswax.
Dishwashers and microwaves create an incredibly harsh environment for natural wood, so please never use them under any circumstances.
Please be careful not to leave the piece submerged in water for extended periods or expose it to direct sunlight, as this may cause warping or cracking.
When washing, please use cold or lukewarm water and clean gently with a soft sponge.
Immediately after washing, remove all moisture and wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Just like a live show, he treasures the unique lines and the distinct texture of the wood that can only be captured in that exact moment.
"Pieces that you find yourself naturally reaching for in daily life." Mr. Watanabe's desire to create works that avoid any rigid tension can be felt beautifully through every single detail of his creations.
