木工作家・井藤昌志は、箱というシンプルな道具の可能性を、かたちや大きさ、機能を広げながら探り、手を動かし続けています。

ものを収めるという、いわば受動的な機能だけではなく、日々の暮らしのなかでどう使い、手に触れ、そばに置いておきたいと思えるものにするか。
この簡潔で身近なかたちを通して、クラフトと生活の接点を少しずつ、確実に広げています。

効率や合理性だけを考えれば必要のない手間も、惜しみなく残していく。
その木の表面にさまざまな色を重ねるように、井藤の美意識は、箱という素朴な形式に新たな表情を与えていきます。

手で触れること、開けること、閉めること。その行為自体に喜びを感じる、そんな感覚を生むものだからこそ、人が手を動かし、工夫しながら暮らしてきた、ものづくりの原点ともいえるプリミティブな知恵が息づいていると考えられます。

THINGS と THINKS。ものと考えること。

ものを通して思考が生まれ、思考がまた新しいものを生み出す。井藤の箱には、言葉や理屈だけでは捉えきれない、ものづくりの喜びと美意識があります。

箱をひとつ手元に置くことから、生活に対する見方が変わる。

箱は、ものを収めるための道具です。しかし、その内側には、作り手の思考があり、ものづくりの未来へとつながる何かが詰まっているのかもしれません。

そんな小さな変化の可能性を、あらためて考えさせられる、今展示会のための新色や、様々なバリエーションの箱たちを一堂にご覧いただけます。

CASE:87
THE BOX of THINGS of THINKS
IFUJI / Masashi Ifuji
2026.10.31.SAT - 11.15.SUN
Venue:CIBONE CASE(Ginza)

Woodworker Masashi Ifuji continues to explore the possibilities of the simple tool known as the box, expanding its forms, sizes, and functions while keeping his hands busy.

He focuses not merely on the passive function of storing objects, but on how to create pieces that people want to use in their daily lives, touch with their hands, and keep close by.
Through these simple, familiar forms, he is gradually and steadily expanding the intersection between craftsmanship and daily life.

He generously retains even the extra effort that would be unnecessary if efficiency and rationality were the only considerations.
Just as he layers various colors onto the surface of the wood, Ito’s aesthetic sensibility imbues the simple form of the box with new expressions.

Touching it with your hands, opening it, closing it. It is precisely because these objects evoke a sense of joy in the acts themselves that we can believe they are imbued with the primitive wisdom—the very origin of craftsmanship—that has driven people to use their hands and apply ingenuity in their daily lives.

THINGS and THINKS. Objects and thought.

Thoughts arise through objects, and those thoughts, in turn, give birth to new things. Ito’s boxes embody the joy of craftsmanship and an aesthetic sensibility that cannot be fully captured by words or logic alone.

Simply having one of these boxes at hand can change your perspective on daily life.

A box is a tool for storing things. Yet within it lies the maker’s thought process—and perhaps something that connects to the future of craftsmanship.

This exhibition brings together new colors created specifically for this event, along with a variety of box designs, all of which invite you to reconsider the potential for such small yet meaningful changes.
