Kikezuri is a Japanese 'wood shaping' style that involves creating small forms for the simple purpose of crafting pocket-sized or handheld items. Unlike wood carving, wood shaving differs in that you don't dictate the final result; instead, you listen to the wood in your hands, allowing it to guide the carving process organically.

Each tree contains wood with unique characteristics and energy. The focus is solely on the wood in your hands, offering an escape from the world. Shaping becomes a relaxing experience in itself. Throughout the process, we learn to open ourselves up and attune to the energy of the bush, recognizing the distinct qualities of each piece of wood.
