Collection: MITSURO HIKIME

Mitsuro-Hikime, meaning honey (mitsu), wax (ro), drawing (hiki), and texture (me), is an ancient Japanese wax-forming technique dating back more than 1,300 years. Traditionally created using a blend of beeswax and pine rosin, the wax is gently warmed by hand until it becomes soft and workable.

Through a slow process of folding, stretching, and manipulating the wax—much like pulling taffy—the surface develops organic textures and sculptural patterns unique to each piece. This traditional technique allows for one-of-a-kind forms that capture movement, depth, and the beauty of intentional imperfection.
