About Takahashi Kougei

Founded in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, in 1965 by Shoichi Takahashi, a lathe worker, the company initially focused on creating table legs and ornamental pillars. With a downturn in the domestic furniture market, they launched in the 1980s the production of wood cups and sugar pots using lathes, becoming the founders of the Asahikawa group of wood tableware makers. Their simple and functional tableware is primarily crafted from Hokkaido-grown trees. While maintaining the natural aesthetics of wood, the items exhibit a modern sensibility, seamlessly integrating into contemporary lifestyles.
