カナダでデザインスタジオを営む友人から「日本のクライアントと本を作るから、プリントコーディネートをお願いしたい」と依頼を受けたのが2025年の夏。そこから3ヶ月、私が今まで培った紙と印刷の知識と人脈、全て注ぎ込み、素晴らしい本が出来上がりました。商品のカタログでもあり、作り手のエッセイでもあり、写真集でもある、そんな一冊です。家具好きだけでなく、ものづくりや暮らしに興味がある方に、是非手に取って頂きたいと思っています。

このプロジェクトに誘ってくれたStudio FacultyのAlvin,Vince,Ailyちゃん。私を信じてくださったクライアントの黄瀬さん、井上さん。良い本づくりの為に惜しみなく努力して下さった製本会社さん、印刷会社さん。この本作り携わった全ての方に心からの感謝を。

In the summer of 2025, a friend of mine who runs a design studio in Canada asked me, “We are making a book with a Japanese client, and I’d love you to handle the print coordination.”
Over the following three months, I poured everything I had into the project—my accumulated knowledge of paper and printing, as well as my network—and together we created a truly wonderful book.
It is a product catalog, an essay by the makers, and a photo book all in one.
I hope not only furniture lovers, but also anyone interested in craftsmanship and everyday living, will pick it up and enjoy it.

My heartfelt thanks to Alvin, Vince, and Aily from Studio Faculty for inviting me to be part of this project; to Kise-san and Inoue-san, our clients, for believing in me; and to the bookbinding and printing teams who put so much care and effort into creating a great book. My deepest gratitude to everyone who was involved in bringing this book to life.
