Since ancient times, people have created and inherited necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture.

Over the years, the tools accumulate their own flavor and reflect the way of life.
The more severe the natural environment and the weaker we are, the stronger their power becomes.
