**Kappodo Cross Point Project**, an artistic knife set themed on the four seasons of Japan has been born.

■ A special piece where three exceptional talents intersect at KAPPODO

DESIGN: Dolly (Muralist, Painter)
BLADE: Makoto Kurosaki (STYLE-K Traditional Craftsman)
HANDLE: Yuma Yamamoto (Yamaken Woodworks Lacquer Artist)

■ Design: Artwork that brings the spirit of the Four Seasons to life
Dolly, the artist who painted the mural at Kappodo, designed patterns of flowers representing the four seasons of Japan. Ms. Yamamoto reproduced these as maki-e on the elegant lacquered handles, while Makoto Kurosaki of Echizen Uchihamono crafted the blades, bringing the flowers to life. It brings splendor and inspiration to the highly seasonal Kappo cuisine.

Himawari/Sunflower (Summer)
Momiji/Autumn Leaves (Autumn)
Tsubaki/Camellia (Winter)

■ Quality: Masterful craftsmanship that you can feel in your hands
With a focus on the knife as a tool, the blades are made by Mr. Makoto Kurosaki, who is highly regarded for their sharp edge and durability, and the handles are adorned with maki-e lacquer by Yamaken Woodworks. It combines not only aesthetics but also practicality that will satisfy even professional chefs. The feel of the lacquer is also exceptionally smooth.

■ One-of-a-Kind art piece
This knife is not only a culinary tool but also a valuable work of art, part of a collection by Dolly, who will be expanding globally. The worldview of the four seasons, completed with all four knives, will transform your kitchen into a special space. It is an exceptional item, perfect as a gift for a loved one or as a decorative piece to be displayed on a kitchen wall alongside one of Dolly’s art posters.
