They are exquisite pieces that stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShohei and Mirai enrolled in the woodworking and molding course at the Kiso Vocational School in Nagano Prefecture in the same year. \u003cbr\u003eAfter graduation, Shohei was involved in furniture production at a joinery shop, and Mirai gained experience at chair upholstery workshops, both working in wood-related fields. \u003cbr\u003eIn 2018, Shohei established his own business under the name \"Mokko Yamani.\" \u003cbr\u003eThen, in 2020, Mirai also joined, and their joint activities as a couple officially began. \u003cbr\u003eKnowing this background, one can deeply understand that these are meticulously crafted works that only two people who thoroughly understand wood could create.\u003cbr\u003eTheir

forms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShohei started making pepper mills because he loved black pepper and wanted to create a tool that could grind it more deliciously himself.\u003cbr\u003eIt all started with the black pepper served on green onion ramen at a local ramen shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, through trial and error, over 170 different shapes were born.\u003cbr\u003eThe passion poured into the pepper mill is strongly felt.\u003cbr\u003eThe names are also playful and endearing, named after familiar objects such as \"eggplant\" and

form features a quiet yet somehow unrestrained concave shape, where curves and straight lines intertwine.\u003cbr\u003eThese unique forms are said to be created using woodworking lathe technology, which is used for furniture components such as table and chair legs.\u003cbr\u003eI was surprised to hear that they drew inspiration from various sources, both Western and Eastern, including the legs of Windsor chairs and low tables from overseas that they liked, as well as Buddhist altar fittings and kokeshi dolls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI use two sizes that are easy to use at home, and I differentiate their use depending on the place and situation.\u003cbr\u003eThe larger type in the photo is tall and can hold plenty of spices, so it's very convenient for daily use in the
