Appreciation towards BCXSY(Boaz Cohen & Sayaka Yamamot) for providing the following description:

 

 

Origin – Part I : Join
Origin – our explorations into traditional crafts from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines.
Tategu – the traditional craft of Japanese wood joinery.
Mr. Tanaka – a master of Tategu.

Join – the results of our collaboration with Mr. Tanaka.

Join consists of a series of three space-dividers. In each piece two lined frames, representing thehumble integrity inherent to the craft, are visually merged to create a moment that deviates fromthe conventional Tategu aesthetic, and introduces angles and shapes that are not commonly usedin the craft. Because the ‘merged’ element within each piece diverges from the traditional processand the conventional aesthetic, the screens become a natural division in the interior.

Each piece is made from Hinoki ( Japanese Cypress), an elegant and pleasantly scented woodthat is highly rot-resistance and does not require any additional oils or waxes. Hinoki is the mostluxurious wood used in the craft of Tategu.

The three screens in the Join series are available in a limited edition of 8 pieces each and are allhandcrafted by Mr. Tanaka in his workshop in Tokyo.

 

 

Mr. Tanaka’s work, and the other works we were exposed to, made a deep and lasting impression.We found the process, the extreme skill and accuracy required by the craft fascinating. We werealso inspired by the personal touch each Tategu master applies to his work. Every piece requiresa variety of different tools that are often custom made by the craftsman to address a specific task.There is a hidden dialog between the Tategu master and the work he creates – there is a reasonfor every step, a story behind every pattern.

Our challenge manifested itself in developing a project that was innovative yet still honored thetraditional aspects of the craft.

探索不同背景，不同传统工艺的融合。

三个隔断，采用了日式传统木工工艺，但是在形式上却采用了不常规形状，偏离传统韵致。采用名贵日本柏木，散发着令人愉快的优雅香味，高度抗腐，不需要额外的油或腊做防护。

由田中先生在他冬季的工房里一手打造，限量8组。观看田中先生工作无疑非常迷人，同时设计师也发现制作过程中必须一丝不苟才能达到效果，部分工具都是定制的。

这是一个充满挑战的工作，在传统中创新。
