In the Hida area, rooted in craftsmanship traditions tracing back to the Asuka period, a group of pioneers, wishing for the prosperity of their region, began producing bentwood furniture from beech in 1920. Through the tireless efforts and challenges, Hida has grown into one of Japan’s leading furniture-producing regions. We remain committed to exploring forest resources and to delivering the warmth and comfort of wood in daily life. We aim to create a place where new creations are possible, a place that draws people together with its charm. Our vision is to make Hida, the birthplace of the company, hallowed ground for woodworkers.

At the JFS main venue, we will be exhibiting the Yanagi Chair, which showcases advanced wood-bending techniques. We will be presenting the details of this reproduction project—which utilized Hida Sangyo’s advanced wood-bending techniques to craft the armrest from a single piece of bent wood without compromising the original design—along with the technology and processes involved.
Hida Sangyo’s main production facilities are located in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, named the first factory, key products such as CRESCENT and SEOTO are meticulously crafted here. Although the factory itself was established in 2011, it carries over a century of rich history and accumulated expertise.To show a deeper insight into our work, we have organized a factory tour that allows visitors to experience the craftsmanship behind each piece of furniture. Guests can observe the types of wood used, the machinery at each stage of production, and the skilled artisans—access that is usually not open to the public. The tour provides a unique opportunity to understand how the furniture that supports daily life is created, enriched by the stories and insights of the factory.
