About registration address
We have received reports that emails from our shop are not reaching mobile carrier email addresses (au, docomo, softbank). The cause is related to anti-spam security measures, and there is no perfect solution.
Therefore, we recommend using a PC email address for orders and newsletter registration.
In particular, for the email address registered when ordering, please ensure you use one where you can always be reached (at least until the product arrives), as we may need to send important information beyond the order confirmation email, such as if there are errors with the shipping address.
If you are having trouble receiving order confirmation emails or newsletters, please first check your junk mail folder. If you still have not received them, please contact us via the Contact Us page, and we will send them to you individually.
There have been cases where emails from our store have not been delivered to mobile carrier emails(au, docomo, softbank). The cause is a security measure to prevent spam mail, and there is no perfect solution.
For this reason, we recommend that you use a PC email address when placing an order and for your newsletter registration address.
In particular, please be sure to register an e-mail address that we can contact you normally (at least until the product arrives), as we may need to contact you not only with an order confirmation e-mail, but also with other important communications such as confirmation of an incomplete shipping address.

If you are having trouble receiving your order confirmation email or newsletter, please check your junk mail box first. If you still haven't received it after checking, please contact us via the Contact Us page. We will send them to you individually.

Points to note when purchasing artwork
All works are one-of-a-kind, hand-processed pieces.

In principle, we do not accept returns or exchanges for customer convenience.
Unlike mass-produced machine items, you may notice minor scratches or distortions, which are part of the unique charm of hand-processing.
Colors and atmosphere may appear different depending on your device or light source.
As there are requests we cannot accommodate after purchase, please ask any questions before making a purchase.
We cannot compensate for loss or damage after shipping. For loss or damage during transit, please contact the shipping carrier.

Because items are also listed on other sites, in very rare cases, we may have to cancel orders due to lack of inventory.

【About the wood carving work】
We generally do not accept commissions for resale, or requests specifying patterns, colors, creature types, or other custom orders.

Even if you suggest an animal you would like us to make, we cannot promise to fulfill your request. Furthermore, we will not provide replies to such suggestions. Additionally, we absolutely do not accept proposals based on existing characters, photographs, articles, posts, etc., due to copyright laws; please refrain from sending such requests.


The material used is mainly Japanese cypress. The shapes are carved using small knives, carving chisels, and rasps, then colored with acrylic paint.
Since the material is wood, cracking may occur due to repeated moisture absorption and drying. Also, placing it in high-temperature areas may cause oils within the wood to melt and seep to the surface. We recommend storing it in a place with minimal fluctuations in humidity and temperature. In particular, avoid areas in direct sunlight or near air conditioner vents, as these will accelerate the deterioration of the wood.
For domestic shipping, please choose from three methods: non-standard mail (Teikeigai), Letter Pack Plus, or Yu-Pack.
Non-standard mail can be selected if the number of wood carvings purchased is two or fewer. For items small enough to fit in a mailbox, delivery is completed once deposited into the mailbox.
Letter Pack Plus can be selected if you have purchased only one wood carving. This method includes in-person delivery (requires a signature or seal) and a tracking service.
Yu-Pack shipping costs vary based on the number of wood carvings purchased. In-person delivery and tracking services are available.

In general, We do not accept commissions for resale, or commissions that include color, pattern, or motif specifications.
We cannot promise that we will respond to your suggestions, even if you suggest an animal that you would like us to make. Also, we will not reply to your proposal. In addition, due to copyright laws, we will not accept proposals based on existing characters, photos, articles, posts, etc. Please do not send us proposals based on existing characters, photos, articles, posts, etc.

I use mainly Japanese cypress as the material. I use a small knife, a carving knife, and a rasp to carve the shapes, and then I use acrylic paint to paint them.
Since the material is wood, repeated moisture absorption and drying may cause cracking.
Also, if the product is placed in a place with high temperature, the fat inside the wood may melt and seep through to the surface.
We recommend storing the product in a place with as little change in humidity and temperature as possible.
In particular, avoid storing in direct sunlight or near air conditioner vents, as this will accelerate the deterioration of the wood.
For shipping method, please choose between EMS and international e-packet.
However, please understand that due to the size restrictions of the packaging, you may not be able to select the international e-packet method depending on the number of items ordered.

 

【About Forged Metal Works】
Forging is a technique in which a thin metal plate is placed against a curved iron block and struck with a hammer, blow by blow, at an angle to gradually deform it into the desired vessel shape.
In principle, we ship via Yu-Pack. In-person delivery and tracking services are available.
