They are true masterpieces that exude a strong presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShohei and Mirai Uchiyama both enrolled in the Woodcraft Course at the Agematsu Technical College in Nagano Prefecture in the same year.\u003cbr\u003eAfter graduation, Shohei worked on furniture production at a joinery shop, while Mirai gained experience at chair upholstery workshops, both engaging in work related to wood.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2018, Shohei became independent under the name \"Mokkou Yamani.\"\u003cbr\u003eThen, in 2020, Mirai also joined, and their collaborative work as a couple officially began.\u003cbr\u003eKnowing this background, one can deeply understand that these are works meticulously crafted by two people who are thoroughly knowledgeable about wood.\u003cbr\u003eTheir appearance, as elaborate as an objet d'art and brimming with refined beauty, is so captivating that you can't help but gaze at 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, he says, with the black pepper served in the green onion ramen at a local ramen shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, through repeated trial and error, he apparently created over 170 different shapes.\u003cbr\u003eThe passion poured into the pepper mills is palpable.\u003cbr\u003eThe names, such as \"eggplant\" and \"sardine,\" are inspired by familiar objects, adding a touch of playfulness and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg

form where curves and straight lines intertwine, creating a quiet yet somewhat uninhibited concave shape.\u003cbr\u003eThese unique forms are created using a woodworking lathe, a technique used for furniture such as table and chair legs.\u003cbr\u003eI was surprised to learn that they draw inspiration from the designs of their predecessors, both Western and Eastern, including the legs of imported Windsor chairs and low tables they admired, as well as Buddhist altarpieces and kokeshi dolls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI personally use two convenient sizes for home use, switching between them depending on the location and situation.\u003cbr\u003eThe larger type in the photo is tall and can hold plenty of spices, making it very convenient for daily use in the kitchen.\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

Cutting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriven by a desire to use domestically produced goods, they use blades made by \"IKEDA,\" a manufacturer of spice mills highly regarded by professionals in hotels and restaurants.\u003cbr\u003eInstead of \"crushing\" or \"mashing,\" these Japanese-made blades allow for grinding as if \"cutting,\" which preserves the aroma and maintains sharpness for a long time.\u003cbr\u003eThe satisfying crunching sound and feel are also a characteristic, making it quite addictive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother great point is that they offer paid repair services for wooden parts and blade replacement in case of malfunction or damage.\u003cbr\u003eI look forward to using it for a long time and watching it become an integral part of my life as I use it more and

the grind size by adjusting how tightly the knob screw is fastened.\u003cbr\u003eFor a coarser grind, loosen the screw; for a finer grind, tighten the screw slightly.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, be very
