About

Established in 1902 in Kameoka, our workshop specializes in the processing and carving of stone for temple and shrine architecture and Japanese gardens. Over the decades, we have created stone lanterns, torii gates, and pagodas―works that serve as enduring symbols of both sacred spaces and local communities.
Rooted in the refined sensibility and aesthetic principles of Kyoto culture, we combine this heritage with rigorous craftsmanship to produce finely carved stone works. Using traditional chisels and mallets, much of our work is meticulously shaped by hand.
Building on the diverse techniques cultivated within Kyoto stone craftsmanship, we engage in cross-disciplinary collaborations with contemporary artists and designers. Through international workshops and technical guidance for garden artisans abroad, we contribute to the advancement and continuity of traditional stone culture.

1902年の創業以来、亀岡の地にて、社寺建築や日本庭園に用いられる石材の加工・彫刻を専門とする工房。石燈籠をはじめ、鳥居や塔頭など、社寺や地域の象徴ともいえる仕事を手がけてきました。
京文化が持つ感性と美意識に職人の技を重ね、石の工芸品を制作。鑿や石頭を用いた細やかな彫刻を得意とし、その多くを手作業で仕上げています。
京石工芸の多彩な技を活かし、現代美術やデザインなど異分野との協働、海外でのワークショップ開催や庭師への指導にも取り組み、石工芸をはじめとする伝統文化の発展と継承を担っています。
