Started in a quiet leafy green town surrounded by mountains in Otsu-city, Shiga prefecture, OKA SKATEBOARDS is a handmade skateboard collaboration between Furniture Maker Yoshiro Mizokami and Art Director James Gibson.
Yoshiro, after seeing a classic skateboard blog sent by James decided to work on a creation that went beyond the boundaries of furniture making. With a passion for board sports and an interest in each other’s skills, the language barrier was ignored and they became absorbed in production sessions.
