[KNIFE] MAKIRI Satoru Hirama | AINU CRAFTS | CIKARPE AKAN

Hiroshi Hirono A one-of-a-kind Makiri that embodies Ainu tradition A Makiri is a small knife used by the Ainu people. It is an indispensable tool in daily life, carried at all times by both men and women. The material used is yew wood. For generations, the Ainu people have used yew to craft bows and ritual implements. This piece is a one-of-a-kind creation by Satoru Hirama, an artist from the Akan Lake Ainu Kotan. He has meticulously carved traditional Ainu patterns while highlighting the natural character of the yew wood. No two pieces have the same grain or carving, making each one truly unique. This is a masterpiece that deepens in character with use, revealing new charms every time you look at it. We invite you to pick up this special piece and enjoy it. It is highly recommended not only for those who love camping and other outdoor activities, but also as a gift for anyone fascinated by traditional crafts and ethnic culture.
