The leaves of the Nagi Tree have been used as a talisman since ancient times, and warriors often carried them in their pockets when they went to war.
The main media of our works are ceramics and Japanese paper, and most of the materials we use for our creations are either gathered from the nature nearby or grown by ourselves.
