Gifu-based woodworker Takashi Kinjo specializes in crafting handmade wooden cutlery. He draws inspiration from antique cutlery from Europe, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Africa to create pieces that have rustic beauty and are also functional for everyday use. Kinjo-san is also inspired by old pottery and Buddhist statuary, which influence the colors and textures in his work. His spoons, are often adorned with antique finishes that are created using a combination of pigments, including pine smoke (black), benibana (red), titanium oxide (white), as well as persimmon tannin and Japanese lacquer.
