Ki Arts - specializes in Japanese-style fine furniture, interiors, and garden structures employing traditional Japanese woodworking techniques. This family-run business was started in 1985 by Japanese master craftsman Hiroshi Sakaguchi and his wife Ann Gerber Sakaguchi. Ki, pronounced "key," means "wood" in Japanese. The basis of all Ki Arts' woodworking is the traditional Japanese joinery system. Interiors and garden structures are first "pre-fabbed" at the Ki Arts workshop where the lumber is shaped, the joints fashioned, and the final board surfaces hand-planed. The structural parts are then transported to the site and assembled. This gives Ki Arts the flexibility to work anywhere in the world. Fine furniture is constructed at the Ki Arts workshop and can be delivered to any location.
