Wooden picture book Ohanashi Kikko/Kitsune to Shishigashira

Tono, known as the hometown of folk tales, is also a land of forests, 90% of which are mountain forests. The "Ohanashi Kikko" series is a series of "storybooks" that tell the traditional stories of Tono, carved into cypress cubes and spun. These "wooden picture books" can be passed down from parents to children and from children to grandchildren.

Moku Moku Picture Book Laboratory:

Our goal is to create wooden picture books that can be enjoyed in today's life, rather than in the past, and to pass on the rich forests of Tono and the world of folk tales passed down by the hearth to the next generation.
