These objects provide an interactive and visual way to nourish your sense of balance and creativity. They are made from the woods of Yoshino Cedar and Yoshino Cypress and each block hand bevelled into geometrical asymmetry shapes by local artisans in Nara, Japan. Each block is made with the finest 100-year wood and coated with natural paints. Please try your hand at building your own tumi-isi tower or bridge and discover your own balance.

tumi-isi is for everyone, grownups might get more hooked.

From Hand to Hand
tumi-isi have a color that is hand painted using natural paint. You don’t have to worry about small children playing with them. Also, every block is individually processed and cut differently, made by craftsmen who spare no effort. We cherish this form and color born from hands, and from the hands that make to the hands that play, we want to be genuine with all “hands”.

Balance Sculpture
The light that is made from the many sides is like a sculpture. The simple shape and color have an outstanding compatibility with modern interiors. Please discover your own beautiful balance and decorate your own space. (A trick for looking beautiful is the “feeling of tension” !)
