Marunao - the most beautiful traditions of ancient Japan
The Marunao manufactory, founded in 1939, has been closely associated with wood as a material since its earliest days. Naturalness, best material and highest possible processing quality are lived philosophy. Genuine craftsmanship, products made with great love for the material, the form, every detail and masterful skill have a rich, long tradition in Japan. Only in a few countries are the boundaries between craftsmanship and art so fluid. And many are convinced that only the passion and the urge for perfection, which can be found in many Japanese, can be the true reasons for this. The vision of creating something noble through touch and the ability to perfect it with modern tools is fused anew every day at Marunao. Only in this way, that is the firm conviction of all employees, can values be created that are far more than a commodity, that perhaps even acquire a soul of their own and become heirlooms.
