（商品リーフレットより抜粋）
個性的な節や木肌の縞、ゆらぎのある年輪。手の痕跡、旋盤の跡、マジックペンの印。1950年から続く挽物工房に残された木片には、見る人の心をどこか引きつける不思議な力がある。「SMALL CIRCLE」は、そこに重ねてきた木の時間と刻まれた手の時間に新たな形を与えた、小さな記憶のオブジェクト。在るものを生かし、無いものをつくるー、先人の手仕事にならい、日々の暮らしへと木を還してゆく。
Knots with character, striped textures on the wood surface, wavering growth rings, traces of hands, lathe marks, and lines drawn by a magic marker, each wooden fragment left behind in this turnery, which has been active since 1950, holds a mysterious charm that quietly captures the viewer's gaze. "Small Circle" is a small object of memory, shaped from the time of wood and of hands. Honoring the craftsmanship of those before us, we return wood to daily life—using what exists to create what is to be.
