Takeji Nakagawa is clearly an extremely talented guy. Using traditional Japanese craft techniques combined with futuristic designs he makes these amazing toys. Calling them toys is a little off the mark though, we are firmly in art territory here.
The craft he practices is a traditional Japanese form called Yosegi-Mokuzougan which focuses on combining different types of wood using two-dimensional patterns. Takeji is extending the technique by introducing 3d patterns. It’s the kind of thing I could only imagine being achieved with 3d modeling software and yet here he is making them for real.
Okay now the sad news, these guys are a one-offs, so you’re not going to be buying them over the internet anytime soon. Takeji only sells them at craft fairs so you’d need to go to Japan to get one, which I’m considering right this minute…
