The Sakami Kogei workshop in Tokyo is owned by Mr. Sakami, who has been engaged in metal processing for 26 years.
Although he is the founder, Mr. Sakami not strictly speaking the "first generation".
He was born into a family in Kyoto that has lived as metal workers for generations.
As Mr. Sakami says:
“My parents, my siblings, my cousins, my relatives, they all do metalwork.
There's metalwork everywhere you look - it's an ancient craft."
A large part of the production takes place on a heavy lathe, where round metal trays and plates are created. The traditional Japanese craft is called 'Hera Shibori'. It is a method where a sheet of metal is fixed in a mold and rotated while the sheet is pressed against the mold with a rod called a spatula. It takes great craftsmanship and experience to know exactly how to angle the spatula and how much force to put in. Finally, the tray is given a brushed finish by a traditional matting process called 'Metsuke'. 
In general
All product photos are real photos of the specific products. However, some photos have added interiors and surroundings created using artificial intelligence to create atmosphere and put the product into context.
Regarding Woodworks
We aim to continuously expand the catalog so that sizes and designs are best illustrated in the webshop.
There are not photos of all variants and sizes, so the photo that appears when choosing a variant in the webshop mainly reflects only the type of wood - not necessarily size or other variations in the design.
NOTE that we always try to create unique wooden products with an exciting visual expression. You must therefore take our product photos as a guide and not as a guarantee of how the finished product appears in terms of year drawings and color play.

If you have questions about the choice of design, sizes, colors or type of wood - or if you have special wishes, you are always very welcome to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk and get your questions clarified before you order.
