Have you ever seen such a delicate wood products?
We think the products are too good to play for children. They are no longer works of art!!
The products have four great features.
First of all, they use HINOKI wood made in HYOUGO prefecture, Japan. HINOKI takes the top-grade as building materials. HINOKI was used to build traditional Japanese temples throughout Japan, so its durability and conservation are proven thoroughly. In addition, its specific aroma of HINOKI has a certain effect which relaxes people. For example, bathroom and lacquer ware made of HINOKI. HINOKI kills some germs too.
Second is its safety. These products have no sharp edges, a high standard in strength, no use of harmful paint or glue, and made all the wood parts into as the same color as possible. The craftmen keep the criteria at high level to create these great quality wooden products.
Third, the structure of KIMITATSU has wide ways in use. KIMITATU SERIES are different from the other wooden toys or products. It is not completed itself yet until the users arrange, fit it to their lifestyle, and create their own world.
Last, the company makes effort on studies for usability seriously. For example, the company repeated trial manufactures until its wooden pieces of MEIRO fit into holes comfortably. When the company develops new products, they have children use them to seek the best size for children in fact.
These features above suggest that the company uses the best technology and carefulness as well as safety and attraction to create their products. This spirit is often called OMOIYARI in Japanese and it lies in their products. Next is concept.
CONCEPT
TREE・WATCH・STAND
The name of KIMITATSU comes from how Japanese thinks parenting is. Parent in Japanese is written as 親 which is composed with three different words; 木(Ki), 見(Mi), and 立(Tatsu). These words木, 見, and 立 mean tree, watch, and stand respectively teaching that parenting is such to watch their children standing by a tree.
Japanese believes children need less meddlings sometimes to develop an ability to solve problems and build up confidence. The craftmen named KIMITATSU following the philosophy, wishing their items to watch over children by their side always like a parent.
