The challenge of a carpenter artist who embodies the motto “Antique, Beautiful.” Shohei Hishida has been training as a carpenter since the age of 18, absorbing the artisanal techniques of both Japan and Europe. Based on 27 years of experience, our philosophy is “Aging is Beautiful.” It is an architectural philosophy that embraces the passage of time and transforms it into beauty. By having our carpenters handle everything from design to construction, we ensure that intention and craftsmanship are consistent, resulting in a consistent home.
