• Together with Nature SASAKI was developed in Asahikawa, where the snowy fields stretch out in pure white. We live together with nature. Our work lies somewhere between what is made by human hands and what is made by nature. No matter how much ingenuity and skill we pursue, each piece of wood has its own quirks and expressions, and each finished product is different. The joy of craftsmanship is the collaboration between the uncompromising work of people and the beauty of nature. The majestic nature has taught us the importance of facing everything honestly.
• SASAKI's manufacturing is at its best when it combines the characteristics of both craftsmanship and machining to create something nearly unique with the precision required for mass production. This is where the ingenuity of our team members comes into play. That's why we are both craftsmen and operators. Each product combines design with functionality for the user, and we repeatedly consider efficiency and cost management linked to the process. Continuous trial and error constantly produces new techniques and processes, nurturing SASAKI-style products and craftsmen. SASAKI is a manufacturer that grows with its products.
