Charcoal (set of 3)

The raw material used is willow (Goriyanagi) trees carefully grown in the garden of a charcoal craftsman living in Kanagawa. Willow is very soft and produces a deep black color with a bluish tint, allowing for a smooth drawing experience that seems to be absorbed into the paper, and it is characterized by a wide range of expression, such as the ability to create and blur shading without damaging the surface. From growing the logs, a single piece of charcoal is born through an incredibly daunting process. A single piece of charcoal is filled with the craftsman's thoughts, and the foundation of craftsmanship is aesthetic sense and love. This is what makes it so different from mass-produced products.
