先月開催された、日本のクラフトやデザインプロダクトに特化した展示・即売会「MONO JAPAN」に行きました。国が違っても大切に思うことが同じなら、わかり合えるんだなと思いました。
In Amsterdam, trams runs all around the city.so we can enjoy sightseeing while moving.
「傘をたたむのが上手ですね〜！」「私のふるさとではよく雨が降るのです」
Dutch people are so friendly. For example,A woman talked to me while waiting a tram.
And,Dutch average height is tallest in the world!So my legs can't reach on the floor.
I got out the tram, and headed for TIME&STYLE.
The building was designated as a protected historical building of the Netherland.
It was so dignity.And I couldn't enter.
Then, the man who was setting the banner frag came up to me.
Then, the man who was setting the banner frag came up to me.
I was relieved to hear his Japanese.
Japanese products were displayed in the room of medieval Europe.
「これは何ですか？」
「扇子です。(この型紙を好きな場所にずらして)あなただけの模様を選ぶことが出来るんですよ」
At the booth of "Fukumono shop"
「会社のロゴを紙に漉き込むことも出来るんですよ」
「素晴らしい！会社の玄関に飾るものを探してたんだよ！」
They recommend products that are adjust Japanese traditional techniques to modern lifestyles.
For example,This hunting cap and scarf were improved the technique of "Kurume Kasuri".
Kurume Kasuri is one of the three major Kasuri in Japan.Its charactaristics are breathable and keeping warm.
「とてもやわらかいですね!」
Based on that, additionally, the craftsmen weave with air.So it is so fluffy.
About colors, first, they dye ultra fine yarns. Then, they twist the yarns.So it is hard to lose color.
「毎日使いたいんですけど、汗やにおいが気になります…」
「これは洗えるんですよ！」And, we can wash it as we want!
「(帽子の内側の)この素材はメッシュなんです。被ってるうちに頭部が温かくなっていきますよ」
These are "MONO" that was made very carefully and functionally.
"This cap must suit me better than him who has flat face!"
(…We didn't know whether the man thought that.)
(…We didn't know whether the man thought that.)
「おー！あたたかくていいね‼︎」There were a lot of person who liked it and bought.
The more they wash, the more the product fit their skin.
「あなたの帽子いいわね！」「ほんと？これ洗えるんだよ！」
It is not just getting older.We can feel memories engraved.
「君にも買ってきたよ！ベレー帽としても使えるんだよ‼︎」
So,I think, it touched Dutch heart.Because they cherish all their things.
Even though we have a different culture and language,
We can understand each other if we cherish the same values.
