‘Takaoka Craft Ichiba-machi’ has started!
One of the biggest events in Takaoka.
if you enjoy the craft exhibition, lots of craft and stalls and activities, and plenty of local food, your weekend is sorted. http://www.ichibamachi.jp/program/index.php
Today is the award ceremony of the Toyama Product Design Competition.
Even it is named ‘Toyama’, the competition is one of the most distinguished events in Japan. As the awarded products tend to be commercialised swiftly, it is the great gateway to success for young designers. We have also collaborated with those designers. For example, our aluminium acupressure massager ‘collinette’ won the first prize in 2011, and self-standing fan ‘solano’ (aka ‘ku-sen’) won the second prize in 2012.
What kind of product won this year? Will some of them become naft product in the future?
The awarded products are displayed until 7th October.
ナガエの本社がある高岡市は、高岡漆器、高岡銅器などの伝統産業が盛んな市です。それに関する様々なイベントが一年中あるのですが、10月3日から7日には「高岡クラフト市場街」が行われます。期間中、「ものづくり」に関する様々なワークショップや展示が行われ、高岡が「ものづくり」一色に染まります。
是非、高岡にお越しください。

第一弾は、高岡のどこかの鋳物屋さんの壁。
私が唯一理解できるのは
銅器の町、高岡は400年の歴史があります。その間、職人さんたちが、技術を磨いてこられました。そのおかげで、高いの鋳造・加工技術が今も引き継がれています。鋳造に関する全ての工程が、市内で可能なのです。
そんな銅器の町なので、町を歩いていると、こんな不思議な光景に出くわすこともあるかもしれませんよ。
