The town of Seki
The pristine NAGARA river flows nearby – this ancient town is an hour’s drive from Nagoya city. Seki is home to many craftsmen, each with different specialties such as the famous UKAI and KNIVES.
History of SEKI knives
SEKI knives are special because they follow the footsteps of the first craftsman 780 years ago. The master smith Hiroshige moved to Seki from Kyushu and began making swords. The smiths of Seki and the town honor Hiroshige as the founder of Seki sword forging, and the town also holds the 供養祭り (Kuyo-matsuri - memorial festival) every year on November 8th.
Seki has produced many expert smiths such as Kanemoto Magoroku (孫六兼元) and Kanesada Izumimori (和泉守兼定).

A city that has thrived on the blade for seven centuries
Shizu Hamono works in Seki, one of the most famous cities in Japan for blade production for over 750 years. The Morinoki collection combines the artisans' expertise with a simple and refined design, created to highlight the beauty of the wood. "Morinoki" literally means "forest tree," and the name becomes clear as soon as you hold the piece in your hand. The handles are made of keyaki, the Japanese elm, also known as zelkova. Each handle retains its own grain and color, so no piece is exactly the same as another.
Expertise
What makes a Morinoki room
Seki, city of blades
Shizu Hamono is produced in Seki, where blades have been made for over 750 years. The Morinoki collection comes from this Japanese manufacturer.
Stainless steel
The blade of the Morinoki roller is made of stainless steel, with a very sharp edge that requires immediate drying after use.
Keyaki, dense wood
The handles are made from solid zelkova, the Japanese elm. A wood with a smooth texture, whose grain remains visible to the touch.
No identical parts
The handles are made of natural wood, so each piece has its own grain and color. It is the texture of the wood that makes the difference between two items.
A drawing that gets straight to the point
Morinoki prioritizes simplicity, with slender shapes and refreshing colors. Nothing competes with the texture of the wood.
Hand wash
Clean after use and dry immediately, without soaking or putting in the dishwasher. The blade is very sharp, so keep it out of reach of children.
