Kikuchi embarked on his metalwork journey in early 2001, training under the guidance of his father. After an intensive six-year apprenticeship, he ventured into crafting his own range of cutlery and tableware.  Each piece in his collection is meticulously hand-hammered, resulting in elegant and distinctive shapes reminiscent of the intricate metalworking techniques traditionally reserved for jewelry. Remarkably, Kikuchi often fashions a single piece of metal into a beautifully functional utensil. His remarkable craftsmanship was duly recognized in 2010 when he was awarded the Japan Mingei Museum Exhibition prize for his outstanding brass utensil line.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab content2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8\" length\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Materials: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo prevent significant discoloration or rust, hand wash with a gentle detergent after use.
