The Iwata family is located in Hatsukaichi City, Japan. For several generations, the family has specialized in woodworking and some of the objects produced in the past, such as the Kendama, are highly sought after. Passing on the woodworking expertise from one generation to the next, their knowledge and creativity are continuously developed and reinvented. After rebranding in 2014 as Iwata Co. Ltd., it is now Kazuma Iwata who runs the family business.
