Agarwood body: Approximately 6-8 grams Length: Approximately 6-8 cm Width: Approximately 2-3 cm Thickness: Approximately 0.8 cm Artist: Kwood https://images2.imgbox.com/66/c6/wVo3QFy7_o.jpeg Born in Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1983, Kwood's background in craft design and extensive travels through Japan's streets have deeply influenced his work. He experienced how wooden art breathes warm, profound life into ancient alleyways. These objects, like fragments of time, carry traces of history and outlines of the future, seeking a delicate balance between opposition and harmony. This translates into refined creations that intimately connect the perspectives of a new generation with the simplicity of bygone eras. Agarwood, once ground into powder for its scent, is revered in Japan, placed in the most auspicious areas of the home as a symbol of vitality and light. Sourced directly from its origin, this agarwood is pure and unblemished, free from artificial enhancements like boiling glue, artificial coloring, or fragrances. It is presented in its most natural state, utilizing ancient scent-extraction techniques. The artist meticulously hand-peels the outer layer of the aged wood, revealing the true soul of the agarwood. This process not only imbues it with timeless vitality but also allows traditional and contemporary craftsmanship to subtly intertwine at the fingertips, culminating in a feast for both the eyes and the senses. Its rich aroma, like solidified time, gently draws together memories of the past and aspirations for the future, allowing them to meet and resonate within its fragrance, an enduring and profound experience.
