POINT OF VIEW

A creation by Taiga Mori that makes us feel the soil of Bizen and the flames of nature, which looks like it is cut out from nature’s landscape. When place in our hands, we can feel the sincerity of the artist who respects the daily life that he has accumulated over time in this place.
