54 The Spirit of IPPONGI �Wood with knots, cracks, or burls cannot become furniture.� We believe such thinking fails to honor the life of the trees entrusted to us. Just as every person is unique, each tree possesses its own individuality. What were once considered flaws are embraced as character, and carefully refined so that each piece of wood can express its truest beauty. This philosophy lies at the heart of Asahikawa Workshop IPPONGI. Rather than selecting wood to fit furniture, we create furniture that brings out the natural character and form of each tree. IPPONGI
