Take-G toy’s are wooden hand-made toys from Takeji (Take-G) Nakagawa. His motto is “to bring wooden beauty and quality into life”.
So, G-toys can be called wooden robots, and there is a great contradiction in this formulation. Why? Because as a rule, talking about robots, we imply something cold, artificial and completely metal, but here we deal with wood, that is a warm material, very cozy and pleasant. These robots help to unite our future and our past and what is more they prolong lives of trees.
Sometimes it takes up to 50 years for one tree to grow and to look like a small tree and not a bush, so Takeji thinks that it is not right, when trees die and nobody cares. He breathes new life into these trees.
If to be precise, all the toys are made in Japan, using the traditional craft skill together with modern design techniques, various kinds of wood are involved.



I would skip school just to look at them all day if I had it when I was younger.
