Kuksa

This is a gift to my sons from my brother. Kuksa is a life-long wooden cup from Finland to be given. It seems a bit hard to maintain long but I hope my sons will like them. Sketched on the 22nd of August, 2010, when it was delivered.

Wooden sugar pot

sukari090715

This tiny handcarved bowl is a sugar pot made by a Kenyan craftsman. I used this when I was in Kenya but I kept this in a cupboard after getting back to Japan. This unvarnished surface was not suitable for the humid Japanese climate and easily got mouldy... I found this sugar pot while I was rearranging things in my room then I sketched it on the 15th of July, 2009.
