Main Piece | Wild, sinking-grade black *kynam*, weighing approx. 1.1g Refined over centuries, black *kynam* embodies the essence of nature. Its wood is warm, with a calm and reserved character. When gently handled or rubbed, a delicate agarwood fragrance emanates, subtle and far-reaching.

This entire piece of wild material, worn close, offers a constant, evolving guardianship. A testament to enduring time, it remains steadfast. Artist: Kwood https://images2.imgbox.com/66/c6/wVo3QFy7_o.jpeg Born in Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1983, Kwood's background in craft design led him to wander Japan's streets, witnessing how wooden art breathed warm, profound life into ancient alleyways. These objects, like fragments of time, carry traces of history and hints of the future, finding a delicate balance between opposition and harmony. This translates into meticulous works that intimately connect a new generation's perspective with the simplicity of bygone eras. Agarwood, once ground into powder for inhalation, is revered in Japan, placed in the sunniest part of the home as a symbol of vitality and light. Sourced directly from its origin, this agarwood is pure and unblemished, untouched by artificial processes like boiling, dyeing, or the addition of fragrances. It presents itself in its most natural form, its true spirit revealed through ancient scent-extracting techniques, where skilled hands painstakingly peel away the outer layers of aged wood. This not only imbues it with eternal vitality but also allows tradition and modern craftsmanship to intertwine subtly within one's fingertips, creating a feast for both the eyes and the senses. Its rich fragrance, like solidified time, gently bridges past memories and future aspirations, allowing them to meet and resonate within its aroma, continuously and profoundly.
