History:
Ruka Kikuchi, Affectionately Known As Lue, Is The Artisan Behind The Creation Of Exceptional Handcrafted Brass Utensils In His Studio Located In Setouchi, Japan. 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.
