One-stroke carving of the horse "Shussekoma" (horse) by Nagumo

Wooden Success Horse | Crafted by Nannun

― A Lucky Charm Clad in the Warmth of Wood ―

A strong yet gentle presence on soft, natural wood.
Nannun's "Success Horse" is a wooden horse carefully carved by hand, one stroke at a time.
Its dignified form is imbued with the warmth unique to handcrafted work.

【What is Ittoubori?】

It is a woodcarving technique that expresses the form of an object simply. The "Ittou" in Ittoubori does not refer to a single blade, but rather to "simplicity." The gentle warmth of the wood is a characteristic of Nannun's woodcarved figures, with its unique texture and feel carved from various chisels, along with its distinctive pale coloring.

In addition to seasonal holiday items, the studio also produces decorations for the four seasons. It has many fans across Japan.

Carving that brings out the life of the wood, by Nannun

Nannun's craftsmanship carefully carves away the wood without waste, discerning the natural grain.
By making full use of the warmth inherent in the wood,
it expresses a lively sense of life that is both simple and vibrant.

Each piece has its own unique expression,
and no two are alike.
As the years pass, its color and luster deepen, allowing it to mature into a one-of-a-kind piece just for you.

The coloring process is divided into two stages: applying the base coat and finishing the details. Over twenty types of brushes are skillfully used to carefully color every detail. Finally, the eyes are added, and Nannun's woodcarved figure is born.
　
From traditional colors to modern, pale hues, each piece is beautifully finished in Nannun's signature style, combining elegance and Japanese charm while blending seamlessly with modern interiors.
