Wooden Serving Spoon

A handmade wooden serving spoon made in Kagoshima Prefecture.

£45.00 per item

This wooden serving spoon is one of the many products created at a support centre in Kagoshima, Shobu Gakuen, which offers a safe, relaxing environment for people with intellectual disabilities and promotes mutual interactions with the local communities through cross-cultural exchanges, collaborations and creative activities. By bringing out people’s innate creative abilities through their workshops, they aim to create a world in which people with disabilities do not require support. These wooden spoons were created through workshops in woodworking studios, that support the independence of the Shobu Gakuen’s residents. Rather than following a specific design, these spoons were carved as a natural expression of the participants’ carving capabilities.
