POP UP SHOP -mAAch ecute Kanda Manseibashi-
About an exhibition at mAAch ecute Kanda Manseibashi
These days, there is an increasing number of shops that use the facilities and space inside railway station buildings.
Currently, we have our products on exhibition at the mAAch ecute Kanda Manseibashi shopping complex, where a particularly elegant atmosphere remains.

There is now an air of autumn around.
Please come and see our exhibition.
Letter of Appreciation
It's been hot for some time now.
In many parts of Japan, schools have broken up for the summer.
The other day, we presented a letter of appreciation to the Tottori Institute of Industrial Technology, with which we often work jointly in research and development of washi and other activities.
They have also posted an article about this on their website. To read the article, go to:

Our letter of appreciation is unlike others, with the Kanji characters meaning appreciation written on a Toh-floorstand (M) by calligrapher Hokai Shibayama.

During the presentation ceremony, we explained our recent activities and new products.
After that, we had a commemorative picture taken with the staff of the institute.
These are photos of the exhibition.
When put along with the letters of appreciation from other companies, ours stands out.
In addition to the word written on the shade, a letter of appreciation is attached to the metal plate.
If you would like a unique award certificate like this one, we would be happy to accommodate your request.
Please feel free to contact us.
Staff members of the institute, I think that there will be times in the future when we seek your cooperation and advice, as we have in the past. We count on your continued support.
POP UP SHOP -monova-
Cicadas singing loud outside bring it home to me that we are in the midst of summer.
The "Innovation of a Thousand Years - Seamless Three-Dimensional Washi" exhibition, which started on July 17 (Thurs), is under way at the monova gallery on the fourth floor of Shinjuku Living Center OZONE.
We have products of our seamless three-dimensional washi series on display in the event space of monova.
Here is the URL of monova's website:
http://www.monova-web.jp/5074
・The products of the Toshiyuki KITA series feature compact and cute designs.
・The Natural series consists of Mokumoku and Moon lamps.
・The by｜n meister series offers two categories of products: semi-wrinkle washi and bi-color washi.
The monova gallery boasts a huge collection of products that allows you to experience craftsman skills from various parts of Japan.
Professional staff will guide you through the collection of high-quality products.
Our exhibit continues through July 29 (Tue). I think you might want to put off the regular glaring lights and enjoy the relaxing washi lamps instead on a summer night.
Everyone is welcome to come and take a look.
Tanakajima Furniture Shop
My habit of putting things off always makes me have to post a bunch of articles at a time. I really need to get rid of this habit.
The Interior Lifestyle Exhibition was held in June.
The Tanakajima Furniture Shop approached us about our seamless three-dimensional washi at the exhibition.
They have decided to sell our products at their shop.

Our products are featured not only on their website but also on their mail order catalog.
We appreciate their decision.

Thanks -interior life style-
Today, it's drizzling in Tottori, a kind of weather typical to the rainy season, and the temperature has dropped sharply.
We participated in the Interior Lifestyle Exhibition, which took place at Tokyo Big Sight from the 4th to 6th of this month.
We thank those of you who visited the exhibition and came to see the Taniguchi Aoya Washi booth.
At this exhibition, we presented products of four major categories.
・Toshiyuki KITA series launched in 2005
・Our original Natural series
・by｜n meister series designed by nendo ← new!
・MORI series created in collaboration with Finnish designers ← new!
While each series has different features, they all offer designs that are unique to seamless three-dimensional washi and attract a lot of attention from potential buyers.
At the exhibition, we received the Best Buy Award from the organizer, Mesago Messe Frankfurt. The award is given to the best item or company selected from a buyer's point of view (the buyer: ACTUS).
We were very delighted to win the award as over 800 companies participated in the exhibition.
For this exhibition, we set up the booth and created a catalog with young creators under the direction of Mr. Tachikawa of t.c.k.w Inc.
Both the booth and the catalog presented our seamless three-dimensional washi lamps in ways they had never been presented before.
We will post information about the new series at later dates.
Don't miss our future posts.
