Rather than treating wood simply as a material, he engages with the traces of time, memory, and life embedded within it, discovering form through an ongoing dialogue with the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"503\" data-end=\"782\"\u003eAfter training in furniture making, his practice shifted beyond function toward the notion of “presence” itself. He works with naturally shaped trees—weathered stumps, entwined vines, and lightning-struck sacred wood—spending years observing them until their latent forms emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003eProduced in collaboration with Gallery NAO MASAKI, with art direction, graphic design, and editing by Teruhiro Yanagihara Studio and Vague Kobe, the book brings together images of his works alongside scenes from his studio and surrounding forest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VAGUE ONLINE STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44903937867885,"sku":null,"price":13200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/9485\/1437\/files\/IMG_2991_kisa.jpg?v=1774597153","url":"https:\/\/shop-vague.com\/en\/products\/emerging-forms","provider":"VAGUE ONLINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
