This is an accessory that uses Mino ware tiles, a traditional Japanese craft.
This may be a sudden question, but what comes to mind when you think of "tiles"?
Do fewer people imagine bathroom walls now?
The accessories we make using Mino ware tiles are:
Everything is made one by one by hand. And since the tiles are also made by craftsmen, each one has a unique character.
The reason I created this accessory is: If the tile culture becomes obsolete, we might no longer be able to see the traditions that people of the past cherished.
We aim to introduce the goodness of tiles in a new form through our products.
This "Mino ware tile" is sourced directly from a kiln in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture.
Since there are no intermediaries, we can maintain this price and quality.
What is Mino ware? The history of Mino ware tiles began in the 3rd year of the Taisho era (1914).
The foundation of Mino ware tiles is built on over 1300 years of history, preserving the tradition and techniques of pottery known as "Mino ware."
We have adapted the tradition and skills of Mino ware tiles into a form that is easily integrated into modern times.
Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted, and the design may vary slightly, making each accessory one-of-a-kind.
Including Mino ware tiles from Tajimi in the Mino region, a traditional ceramic production area, the current situation in Japan is that demand for traditional items is decreasing.
When you think of tiles, many people might think of bathrooms and toilets, but nowadays, very few houses use tiles, which sometimes makes us feel nostalgic.
If awareness of tiles continues to decline among the younger generation, these traditional items might no longer be available.
Therefore, we want people to learn about traditional culture in a new way! With this in mind, we developed our products.
To contribute to new forms of "town revitalization and regional revitalization," we are giving new life to these traditions as accessories.
To further deepen local activities in the future, we have started initiatives that connect employment support with our work.
I believe that there are limitless things that people with disabilities can do, depending on their creativity. We aim to be a bridge between traditional products and employment support through popolo.
Our future goal is to have our work featured in the media, spreading awareness about our local community and employment support activities not only in Japan but also overseas.
