Where Craft and Beauty Meet
Poiesis is a call to reawaken beauty and craftsmanship, to revive the world’s decorative arts and restore harmony to the spaces we inhabit.
Japan's 250 + Year Old Cultural Heritage:
Inami Woodcarving
A global center of traditional handcrafted decorative arts, Inami woodcarving has flourished for over 250 years in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture. Known for its exceptional craftsmanship and spiritual depth, this living tradition now stands at a critical turning point. Inami represents Poiesis’s first area of focus.
About us
Poiesis preserves and revitalizes endangered decorative arts through commissions, exhibitions, historical documentation, educational programs, and partnerships that support master craftsmen and apprentices.
Commission
Bring centuries of craftsmanship into your space through a
bespoke Inami woodcarving. Each commission is a collaboration
between client and master craftsman, guided by tradition and
tailored to your vision.
Each commission supports master craftsmen and paves the way for
a future generation of apprentices.
