The 'SUMI BLACK' collection finds inspiration in a 'Kurogaki' encountered on a trip to Tokyo. 'Kurogaki,' colloquially named, lacks formal classification as a 'black persimmon.' Rarely, persimmon trees reveal a distinctive black hue, known as 'Kurogaki,' making it a one-in-ten-thousand chance find. Its rarity, challenging growth, and timber processing difficulties add mystique and value. No specific region in Japan is abundant in 'Kurogaki.' The tree's twisting growth and fragility pose challenges for landscapers, showcasing craftsmen's skills. Evoking a wabi-sabi art sense, the collection captures this phenomenon using Japanese soot paint, symbolizing 'black' in Japanese culture.
