Taku Stories
Welcome to my channel!
Here I share the process of fulfilling my creative ideas while mostly working at a tiny desk in my studio.
I like to create practical objects, often directly or indirectly influenced by the nature around me, using materials that are available to me to their fullest.
I live in the beautiful Hokkaido, which is one of the best places to experience nature first-hand, and to observe it as it goes through seasonal transformation. Said seasonal transformation is also an important source of inspiration as it offers a constant sensory and visual stimulation.
I hope you will enjoy my meditative videos that may bring a bit of slowness and calm to your daily life.
