KININARU TSUGAMI curious toy

気になる KI ni naru be curious
木になる KI ni naru the fruit of the tree 

The name of this toy came from a play on words.

KININARU TSUGAMI comes from the forests of the village of Hinohara in Tokyo.



Becoming a tree - building the tree as it grows

Be curious to touch the tree as it is


Trees grow, branches grow and the various animals that live in the village appear, allowing you to create your own forest.
By touching the trunks and thin branches in their natural form, these wooden miniatures will make you ‘curious about the forest’.
