Haroshi being that he is a skater from early childhood, uses his materials for art purely through skateboards that have reached their breaking point. From working with nothing but decks, he has great knowledge of skate decks down to their manufacture, allowing him to fit and construct pieces that set his art apart, bringing art to skate in the most literal way possible. He's out of Tokyo Japan and interestingly stays some what true to the sculptures from his mother country, 90% of Buddhas there are made from wood sculptures. With his pieces he finds a piece of metal from an old deck and places it at the core of the sculpture, giving it "soul". Taking after "Unkei" a famous Japanese wood carver out of the 12th century who would place a crystal ball, the "heart", at the center of his Buddha carvings. His sick carvings and loyalty to skate have given him great success and an amazing legacy in both the skate and art world.

Australia has its own tale of skateboard history, as with us here in the states surfing was the at the root of that. In the late 60's early 70's the counter culture movement was not only restricted to the States. Australian beach goers began using drugs, having fun and surfing for recreation and that pissed some people off, specifically the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia (uptight life guards equipped with only a surf board) . The major players in surfing went to Hawaii and the California coast through that gave Australian surfing global recognition. The Penny Board was a direct product of this "counter culture" and began to sell their Plastic infused Skateboards in the mid 70's. The back pack size design was perfect for cruising through town and making it possible to take your board anywhere, the sharp turns, car ran over durability, small surface area and multiple colorways made this a no brainer in the 70's. Well, PENNY SKATEBOARDS are back!! and seem to fit right back in to the culture of today, whether you need it to trek around campus, cruise around town or just stunt, We got your back! available in several colorways at your local Store13!
