History:
Ruka Kikuchi (also known by his nickname Lue) creates unique, handcrafted brass utensils from his studio in Setouchi, Japan. Kikuchi began training in metalwork with his father in early 2001, and after a six year apprenticeship, he began making his own cutlery and tableware. Each piece is hand-hammered into unique and elegant shapes, calling to mind delicate metalworking techniques traditionally used for jewelry. He often uses a single piece of metal to craft a utensil. In 2010, Kikuchi won the Japan Mingei Museum Exhibition prize for his brass utensil line.
