They mainly create sculptures using ebony wood. Because it is extremely hard and heavy, and due to over-logging, it is used as a rare wood for sculptures. By utilizing its hardness, it is a wood that allows for a wide range of expressions, from intricate and delicate carvings to heavy and bold carvings. This time, we filmed Shoun Uehara, the son of Ryuun Uehara, showing the production process and interviewing him about the hardships and joys of his work. @hinokinawa Cafe & Women-Only Hot Stone Spa Hinoki Opening Hours: 10:00~20:00 Last Entry: 18:00 Closed: Mondays and Tuesdays Lunch: 11:30~15:00 Address: 755 Senajo, Yaese-cho
