Michiko Kubota's Engraving

Japanese master engraver Michiko Kubota transforms knife blades into individual works of art through wabori, traditional Japanese metal engraving. Working entirely by hand with a hammer and chisels, she creates intricate designs inspired by nature and Japanese culture. Each engraved surface catches the light differently, revealing the depth, texture, and detail of her craftsmanship.
