The small folding desk is made based on Nigatsudo Desk. Nigatsudo Desk refers to a desk used at the refectory, a large room where meals are served to a Buddhist priest, at Todai-ji Temple, Nigatsudo, known for its water-drawing ceremony, a desk that has been inherited for over 1000 years.
Although it is simple, it is also highly convenient, used in multiple purposes, although it is compact, its size is necessary and sufficient. It can be transported as well as stored by folding its legs, while also creating your own space with your own will.
Nigatsudo Desk was long-cherished and firmly established in a Japanese lifestyle. How about inheriting some Japanese wisdom that is cultivated over a thousand years?
I’m so glad for my second Oak Village Oritatami Kozukue. I’m able to set up both tables together to fit more people. So that’s great. Thanks again for everything.

Thank you so much for your wonderful products and service.
I love everything I have purchased and it arrived so fast! I appreciate all the craftsmanship and care and tradition that has gone into everything, and it makes me want to buy more. The Oak Village table is my pride and joy and I sit at it to do my journaling. The [Onishi Seisakusho] Fountain Pen Sakura I use every day to draw and write on my Oak Village desk. I visited Japan in October 2022 and have always wanted to take some of it home. The textiles are beautiful, I have been using them to do natural dyeing with weld, cochineal, and madder, and I'm going to use them as covers for bookbinding. The photos you take of your products on your website are gorgeous too. The 'cloud' towels are so soft too and a pleasure to use. I use the rice chests to store my wools as moths can be an issue here in Melbourne. Thank you, I have been pleased with every product.

Considering the elasticity of the pure material, an original stopper, only using wood with no metal fittings, has been used for the fixing of the legs. It is a structure that takes into consideration the characteristic of wood, which gets hard or loose depending on the season. The table can be effortlessly folded by simply sliding the stopper right and left. Different materials are rightly used for different parts of the body: chestnut tree for the body, Japanese oak for the anti-warp features under the tabletop, beech tree for the stopper's pin, cherry tree for the knob, and bamboo for connecting these features.
