He explains that children grow up fast, which seems to be the reason why people tend to buy cheap plastic, disposable furniture for their young ones. After awhile, these disposable items start to overflow in a room. Furniture is an important factor in determining the quality of a room. The same is true for small furniture. Children who use chairs and desks that are made well will be engrained with the feeling of wood, the feeling of its use and the quality of wood items without even knowing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if the child gets bigger and no longer uses the chair, it is durable enough for an adult. For example, it can be used at the entrance of a home for tying on shoes. Well-crafted, solid wood furniture can be used for hundreds of years. When that child becomes an adult and becomes a parent themself, they can hand the chair over to their child – a piece of furniture they have used intimately since childhood.

This adorable wooden brooch exemplifies the playfulness and free spirit that we've gotten to know over the course of our relationship with Mitani. Like the other brooches he made, this one was inspired by the things he saw in his day-to-day life, whether it was the animals outside his window or the toys he saw in shop windows. This brooch is a limited edition made on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Mitani's remarkable career. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoldier Brooch was curated by Stevenson Aung\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eRyuji Mitani\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/b\u003eRyuji Mitani\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.0” (w) x 3.7” (l) x 0.5” (h) or 2.5cm (w) x 9.5cm (l) x 1.3cm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0.2 oz or 8 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003eWood, Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Matsumoto, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand carved\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures textural carved wood surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned on the back with \"Persona\" for Ryuji Mitani's studio name, Persona Studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass bar pin affixed to back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach piece is unique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacial features and garments will vary as each brooch is individually painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ryuji Mitani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41082978205890,"sku":"RM-223 (269)","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/products\/Ryuji_Mitani_Soldier_Brooch_Featured_3.jpg?v=1634601214"},{"product_id":"ice-cream-cup-natural","title":"Ice Cream Cup - Natural","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am a Natural Wood Ice Cream Cup.
