KOKOMU Muisc Box

KOKOMU is the new generation of the company named “HaiShan Handcrafts”, founded in 1969 by three Shih brothers.

In the early 1960’s, lumber industry exploded and there were more than 450 woodcraft factories in Puli, Taiwan. HaiShan Handcrafts being one of them, produced large quantities and varieties of Christmas decorations, such as Christmas pyramids, wooden incense puppets, and many export products. HaiShan Handcrafts was one of the very few companies that specialized in nutcrackers and wooden music box manufacturer .

In 2012, HaiShan changed the path, from a traditional handcraft shop into a tour factory, mainly focused on wooden music boxes where tourists have hands-on and DIY experiences.

With our profound and professional woodcraft experience of the past, KOKOMU has turned the page of traditional OEM to a new chapter, creating and establishing our own brand, designing, developing, producing and marketing our own products.

We’ve now created a space within our factory to display and introduce Puli’s woodcraft culture and history, to let people learn and understand the true art and the value of woodcraft.

With our new business model and goals, we are focusing on refining traditional, rough woodcrafts into exquisite gifts. We promote a “Do-It-Yourself” concept. Through Music Box DIY, you can raise the value of your gifts to your loved ones to priceless.

敲敲木工房的歷史

海山手工藝社創立於1969年，埔里鎮，由原本農務的施家三兄弟所成立，創業初期，施坤海和施坤山兩兄弟，早期於埔里其他木工廠學習木工車枳，1969年，施坤海於自家的三合院右側，搭起鐵皮屋，成立海山手工藝社，待施坤山先生當兵回來後，同時和弟弟施坤清一起加入生產胡桃鉗行列，於是開始埔里手工藝木製品外銷的生產。

工廠初期以代工為主，主要生產酒架用車枳木螺絲及門簾串珠，然後進行簡易的噴漆，因貿易商得知所生產的車軹木器品質優良，於是引入德國胡桃鉗訂單到埔里，於是工廠開始大量生產，大小款式皆生產。

同期生產的商品如德國聖誕金字塔，工法更為細膩，每座車枳仔數目較多，聖誕金字塔融入天使和耶穌誕生等主題，使用大量埔里山區木材，工廠需要大量勞力黏合，所以也外放給附近埔里家庭婦女代工，工廠更加入彩繪的部份「畫尪仔」部門，產品種類達近百種，成為當時生產量最多的產品，也是從傳統代工轉型為成品外銷出口重要歷程。

1988年初，新材質POLY樹脂的出現，工廠調整一生產線生產樹脂產品，從POLY原料、灌模、磨胚、著色，包裝在不到半年整備皆順利生產出貨，產品從POLY製品到水球的生產皆有，POLY製品因需要大量彩繪女工，工廠外放彩繪女工人數達300-400人，而廠內生產線甚至達到100人，施坤山先生還研究水球真空技術，更可達到水球內無氣泡沈澱，可稱是埔里水球之最。

1996年由三兄弟之一施坤山先生前往大陸設廠，成立海山波麗木藝制品廠，專心於小型木製品和中小型家具為主，更以珠寶盒、音樂盒、雪茄盒、茶葉盒等盒製品為最，大陸18年期間，獲得了ISO 9001:2000的認證，工廠人數達1000多人，產品種類33種類別、6000種以上款式，客戶佈全球，如Sankyo, GIORGIO ARMANI, Estee lauder, Tommy Hilfiger，Mr. Christmas，QVC, HSN, Ballard Designs, Improvement. J.C. Penney 等。

2012的8月，海山手工藝社第二代施文傑，創立敲敲木工房，從文創設計的角度，讓OEM轉化為ODM.OBM，做出獨特且在地的商品，延續的不只是父親的夢想，而且是埔里人共同的記憶，希望敲敲木工房誕生，能讓全台灣、全世界都知道，這些精美的胡桃鉗、音樂盒，曾經都是在在地地、土生土長的在埔里這土地上生產，由400多家木工廠，幾萬個木工師父、彩繪工所締造的傳奇，榮耀應屬全埔里人共享。
