Some people say that wooden tableware is difficult to maintain, but at Kobo Yasu, the tableware is painted with a prepolymer that is allowed to penetrate the wood, and then the surface is scraped again to bring out the original texture of the wood, and finally finished with walnut oil. By taking the time and effort, we are able to create wooden vessels that can be used for a long time while retaining the original texture of the wood.

Easy to maintain.

Although wooden products are often thought to be difficult to maintain, Kobo Yasu's products are very easy to maintain thanks to their unique finishing process. Once every six months, anywhere you feel that some of the oil has worn off, apply walnut oil, perilla oil, or linseed oil to a paper towel. After applying, wipe off any excess oil and allow to dry in a well-ventilated, shady area. By doing this, you can continue to use the product in good condition for many years.
*When applying oil, be sure to wet the kitchen paper with water before disposing of it.

Cute hand drawn lettering.

The pottery of Kobo Yasu has the letter "ya" engraved on it. They are particular about the final finishing touches, and hand-paint each piece with care. This feeling is very pleasing. And the cute font and the size of the letters are also places where you can feel the maker's sense.
[Please note that even if the material is the same wood, each piece has its own unique look, so the grain and color of each piece will be different.]
The products of "Kobo Yasu," a workshop in Gifu Prefecture that brings the warmth of wood to everyday life, are created by Yasunori Okada. Working with wood for a long time has given birth to the wood core, and he continues to create with that wood core in mind.
