These are truly exquisite pieces that stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShohei and Mirai enrolled in the Woodcrafts department at the Agematsu Technical College in Nagano Prefecture in the same year.\u003cbr\u003eAfter graduation, Shohei worked in furniture production at a joinery shop, while Mirai gained experience in upholstery workshops, both engaging in wood-related work.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2018, Shohei established his independent workshop under the name \"Mokko Yamani.\"\u003cbr\u003eThen, in 2020, Mirai joined, and their collaborative work as a couple officially began.\u003cbr\u003eKnowing this background, one can deeply appreciate that these works, with their meticulous attention to detail, could only be created by two individuals with such extensive knowledge of wood.\u003cbrTheir exquisite, refined beauty, like that of an objet d'art, is so captivating that one can't help but gaze upon them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShohei began 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\u003eThrough trial and error, he apparently created over 170 different shapes.\u003cbr\u003eThe passion poured into these pepper mills is palpable.\u003cbr\u003eThe names, such as \"eggplant\" and \"sardine,\" are inspired by everyday objects, conveying a sense of playfulness and

forms are a blend of curves and straight lines, creating a quiet yet somewhat uninhibited impression with their recessed shapes.\u003cbr\u003eThese unique forms are said to be created using a woodworking lathe, a technique commonly employed in furniture making for items like table and chair legs.\u003cbr\u003eI was surprised to learn that they drew inspiration from various sources, both Western and Eastern, such as the legs of their favorite overseas-made Windsor chairs, zashiki (low table) legs, Buddhist altar fittings, and kokeshi dolls, incorporating the designs of their predecessors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI personally use two convenient sizes at home, switching between them depending on the location and occasion.\u003cbr\u003eThe larger type in the photo is tall and can hold a generous amount of spices, making it very convenient for daily kitchen use.\u003cbr\u003eOn the other hand, the smaller type is compact and perfect for enjoying freshly ground spices at the dining table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg

restaurants.\u003cbr\u003eThese domestic blades are said to grind by \"cutting\" rather than \"crushing\" or \"mashing,\" resulting in a more fragrant grind and long-lasting sharpness.\u003cbr\u003eThe satisfying crunching sound and feel are also characteristic, and one might easily become addicted to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother welcome point is that in case of
