TAKUMI WOODWORK
After a season working as a ski instructor, Brit Louis Higgins decided to stick around after the snow melted. What he discovered was much deeper than the powder snow he first came for. Trained as a joiner and carpenter, during the off-season Louis headed south to do work building houses in the ancient capital of Kyoto. The skills, techniques, style and discipline of the Japanese craftsmen he worked with influenced him so greatly he decided to start his own woodworking company in Niseko, creating truly exquisite East-meets-West furniture and other pieces inspired by ancient Japanese craftsmanship.
