Risa Aoi Kobayashi

Upholstery, done properly

  • 🇯🇵 Fukuoka, Fukuoka, Japan
  • Since 2005
  • Japanese, English
My trade is upholstery. I opened my own shop in 2005 in Fukuoka and I'm still there most mornings. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I take the work seriously, though not myself. I'm proud of everyone I got to work with.

More about Risa

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
What gifts mean to Risa: A gift would go toward tools for apprentices who can't afford their own.
