Kikiki 木聞器
The literal meaning of Kikiki(木聞器) is that a tool to listen the sounds(fragrance) of tree.
The fragrance of each different tree can remind your old memories which you might have forgotten otherwise.
Trees and people's lives are traced by the fragrance.
A wide variety of trees are growing throughout Japan.
Japanese people have lived with trees for a long time and have lived with the benefits of nature while using trees in the right place in their lives.
For us, living in the present day, the forest may have become a little far away.
Still, many people would prefer wood because of its warmth and gentle look.
How to express the quality of woods in an innovative way.
More than thinking of physical aspects of wood,
we chose an intangible value ; fragrance - something unique to each species of tree -something which can suggest fond memories, or unexplored places.
KiKiKi wants to share the experience of the forest ; the breeze, the savour, the bouquet, in its pure state,no matter where you are.
