A series of objects and sculptural installations examines wood as both a centuries-old cornerstone of human craftsmanship and an organic vessel containing history and time, beauty and stories. The study into all things trees is the inaugural exhibition at Karimoku Research Center, an experimental new space recently opened in the Nishiazabu district of Tokyo by the respected wood specialist Karimoku Furniture.
The space is a research platform aiming to survey, archive and innovate how people live in daily life, showcasing elements ranging from experimental design collaborations and pre-production prototypes to new material samples. It spans The Archive on the ground floor, a cavernous raw concrete space with 5m-high ceilings and natural light pouring through a wall of industrial windows.

The Library meticulously documents 63 different wood species, collected from across Japan by Karimoku Furniture. Each one is presented with samples, from seeds to leaves, offering insight into its character, quality and origin. The beauty β and history-loaded qualities β of tree interiors is also highlighted, through the scientific study of tree rings, known as dendrochronology from the Greek words dendros , meaning tree, and chronos , for time. One exhibit highlights the internal beauty of a year-old cedar from Ninohe city in Iwate Prefecture, its inner rings painstakingly marked with white threads connected to specific dates in history β from earthquakes, record snowfall and the end of the Second World War to the Covid pandemic.
This is captured in Touch , a kinetic sculpture with a sharp-edged pendulum gradually etching the surface of walnut wood; as well as Sunlight , which involves cherry wood slowly deepening in tone, from light pink to deep brown, upon 1ure to UV light. It accumulates scratches and marks, like memories etched into its surface. Karimoku Furniture, a family-founded company with roots dating back to , is renowned for balancing quality human craftsmanship with technical expertise and creative innovation as it moves into the future β as reflected by the opening of its new Tokyo space.
Just a few minutes on foot from the softly minimalist interiors of Karimoku Commons Tokyo β its contemporary showroom and gallery space β the new centre spans a s former office with high sharp lines, expanses of raw concrete, flowing natural light and an industrial-edged atmosphere, all harmonised invisibly with a signature aromatic wood scent created by Megumi Fukatsu. The entire space is unified in a grey tone, creating an industrial atmosphere.
