子供の頃からラムネが大好きで可愛いラムネを自分で作りたいと思いはじめたある日、お干菓子や落雁を作る木型が目に入りました。
木型はとても美しく素晴らしい工芸品であり、木型を作る職人さんが今では数える程しかいないということも知りました。
美しいお菓子を作りだす木型作りに私もチャレンジしてみたいと思うようになり、ゼロスタートながら多くの方に助けられて少しずつ形になってきました。
職人さんの作る芸術性の高い「木型」という同じ言葉を使うのも恐れ多いですが「お干菓子可愛いね」や「その木型使ってみたい!」という嬉しい言葉をもらえるようになって、私らしい木型でもいいのかなと思うようになりました。
自分で作ったお干菓子を見て、ふふふと笑顔になる瞬間が好きです。
ひとりでも多くの「ふふふ」な笑顔が増えますように。
I have loved ramune since I was a child, and one day when I started to think about making my own cute ramune, I saw wooden molds for making dried sweets and rakugan.
One day, I saw a wooden mold for making dried confectioneries and Rakugan. I learned that wooden molds are a beautiful and wonderful craft, and that there are only a few craftsmen who make them nowadays.
I began to think that I would like to try my hand at making the wooden molds that create the beautiful sweets, and although I started from scratch, with the help of many people, I gradually began to take shape.
I'm afraid to use the same word for the highly artistic "wooden molds" made by craftsmen, but when I started to receive happy comments such as, "Your dried sweets are so pretty," I began to think that it was okay to make my own wooden molds.
I love the moment when people smile when they see the dried sweets that I made.
I wish for more "fufufu" smiles from as many people as possible.
