Created by Fujii, a young woodcraft artist from Hida, the Penguin Object is part of the HOPE brand.
It was born by chance during the making of a chair, when he noticed that the curve of a chair leg revealed the gentle silhouette of a penguin. This small yet expressive piece reflects the spirit of Japanese handmade crafts and the timeless beauty of the Hida artisans tradition.
■Maker: HOPE (Fujii)
■Materials: Body / Walnut, Belly / Maple, Beak / Beech
By combining different species of wood, the dark walnut body, the light maple belly, and the smooth beech beak create both harmony and contrast.
Finished with natural oil, the wood grain becomes more vivid, offering a tactile warmth and smooth touch.
Designed for Quiet Living
This art object adds calmness and a quiet story to your living space, perfectly suited for a Japandi interior or minimalist home.
Though small, it brings playfulness to the emptiness of space, embodying the sukiya spirit of harmony and the beauty of ma (meaningful emptiness).
Each figure has its own character shaped by natural variations in wood grain and color. These are not flaws, but “lines drawn by nature,” resonating with the aesthetics of wabi-sabi and Zen-inspired living.
