With a background in interior design, Akaiboushinoki (“Wood and a red hat”) has explored many creative paths, from architecture firms to companies that make physical products. After working in different design fields like display design and product design, Akaiboushinoki eventually found their way to illustration. In 2022, a wish to draw on wood led to the beginning of their wood carving journey.

Akaiboushinokis carvings often feature tiny characters who always look just a little bit concerned. Each one is hand carved, hand painted, and completely one-of-a-kind. But it is not just the carvings that make Akaiboushinokis work special. The playful titles and little after stories, illustrated scenes that come with each piece, feel like quiet whispers from the figurines themselves and have become a signature part of Akaiboushinokis world.

Just like the unexpected pairing of wood and a red hat, we hope this whimsical yet relatable collection brings a small moment of joy to your everyday life 🙂
