I create everyday items using paper bands—such as baskets for the dining table, lamps for the entryway or shelves, and bags for quick outings. I focus on a soothing color palette centered around green and prioritize shapes and sizes that easily fit into daily life. Each piece is handcrafted one by one so that you can enjoy looking at it—whether you’re using it or not. I would be delighted if “Green Craft Band” items became one of your favorite things in your daily life. ~About Green Craft Band~ I first discovered paper bands in Kagoshima, where I was born and raised. After getting married, I moved to Nara and began my career as an artisan in earnest. Having grown up surrounded by nature, I’ve always incorporated the soothing color green into my creations. I also draw inspiration from my experiences in both Kagoshima and Nara when creating my items. Moving forward, I will continue to deliver items that blend naturally into your daily life, while prioritizing both practicality and designs that bring joy simply by being on display.
