sorry, the photo is quite processed. i forgot to take a pic in nice lighting before i started giving them away
two are with my grandparents, one is with a friend on exchange, and one is in the living room of the sharehouse I just moved out of. the last is somewhere in my boxes. I haven't unpacked yet. I think I'll put the last one on our kitchen windowsill.
I hope i have time this semester to make more!

i also really loved their book darts and bought a set. i think they'd make a nice gift

azmaya - rice bin - made from kiri wood without any fasteners (ie no nails, no screws)
iga mono - donabe pot - iga ceramic which is a type of ceramic that heats very slowly (conversely, it also releases heat very slowly, which is good for stewing and simmering). if you've never had a donabe style pot, it's such a great cooking utensil. simmered vegetables, yum yum
tomnuk design - maple french rolling pin - ps on a side tangent i personally prefer the french pin style vs the standard rolling pin. you don't realize how cumbersome standard pins are until you roll out dumpling skins using one D:
