Matryoshka classroom continues ~ GINZA HAKKO tree incense ~

[rosemary sea] April 27, 2017 14:00

It's rosemary sea, which makes up "gifts and I enjoy myself".

 

DSC02235a.jpgGinza 6-chome, which is crowded with customers of GINZA SIX, which opens on April 20, and GINZA HAKKO tree incense (Kinoka) in 7-chome right next to it, the other day I introduced the shop.

 

The shop is on the first floor that handles a variety of wood crafts and wood crafts such as Russian folk art Matryoshka and German folk art walnuts.

On the first basement floor, which leads from the store on the first floor, there is a space related to classrooms and exhibitions.

On April 21, the day of the interview, a painting artist, Yuri Takeichi, held a "Matryoshka Classroom".

Professor Takeichi, you are beautiful, young, very kind and polite.

※ Click on your computer to view the image.

DSC02261a.jpg DSC02263a.jpg

 

DSC02209a.jpgDSC02236a.jpgAs you know, Matryoshka is a doll of Russian folk art. A so-called "need" doll in which several layers of Russian female dolls come out from inside.

Its roots are also referred to as Hakone-crafted Seven Lucky Gods nested doll.

It is also popular as a talisman for safe delivery and child treasure. Perfect as a gift.

There is also a legend that if you breathe the smallest doll with a wish and overlap it and keep it as it is, the wish will come true.

 

Nevalian deer (= wake-up spill) does not open inside, but it contains metal and makes a very beautiful sound. Best for baby toys.

 

This day was a day when you could choose and make both Matryoshka and Nebariyashika.

The yellow machine, Hakumitsu Co., Ltd.'s electric pen, my pen α, is located in the center of the table. The temperature setting is 10 levels, and the tip of the pen is 4 patterns.

Using this, the teacher showed the technique of wood burning (scorched picture).

 

Dr. Yuri Takeichi's classroom is held twice a month on Friday. 3 hours from 14:00 to 17:00. The capacity is 6 people. There were also students from Shizuoka on this day.

In order to finish the work, it will be divided into two to three times.

Matryoshka is a system that makes one set of three types, and two for Nebariyashika.

 I draw a sketch.

 Wood burning (using an electric pen to burn wood and draw a picture).

  It's usually a day here.

 Acrylic Gash (described later).

   ※ What is Acrylic Gash?

One of the acrylic paints is opaque. Painting that remains opaque even if the amount of water is adjusted. Since acrylic resin is used for the binder (glue that fixes pigment), once dried, it becomes water resistant and the paint does not dissolve in water.

Another feature is that it has strong adhesive strength and can be colored in a wide range of materials such as wood. It is opaque like a poster color, and when it dries, it becomes matte.

 Finished. This is also important. Put the teak on the cheek to complete it.

The teacher has been running for about two years. At first, the classroom was opened on a single shot.

I'm looking for students. Reservation required. But some people are repeating. If you make one set, you can make another set or change the pattern.

 

There is also a classroom for teachers other than Dr. Yuri Takeichi.

The other classrooms will be explained in the next article.

Concept shop that conveys the scent of wood-GINZA HAKKO tree incense ~

[rosemary sea] April 26, 2017 09:00

It's rosemary sea, which links "gifts and I enjoy myself."

 

DSC02235a.jpgDSC02231b.jpgGINZA HAKKO Kinoka saw the advertisement published in the April issue of Ginza's information magazine "Ginza Hundred Points" and asked.

We spoke with Mr. Kato and Mr. Motsuka, a designer.

Kinoka sells various wood crafts and miscellaneous goods, such as tools and Shiraki materials necessary for wood burning (described later), and Matryoshka from Russia.

※What is Wood Burning?...

 A technique that uses an electric pen to burn trees and draw pictures, patterns, and letters.

The first floor is an event space for exhibiting and selling wooden crafts, and the first basement floor is an event space for special exhibitions and classrooms.

In fact, it is a part of Hakuko Co., Ltd., whose headquarters is located in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, a soldering iron manufacturer, is located.

It seems that this shop was opened about 10 years ago to spread wood burning techniques as a company.

Initially, it was opened in a corner of Chiba Sogo, and then moved to Ginza for the fourth year.

At first, wood burning machines and works were sold, but it seems that Matryoshka was sold because of some concept and interesting things.

Then I'll explain the product.

DSC02238a.jpg

Matryoshka

It is said that the product lineup of matryoshka is the largest in Japan.

For weddings and birthdays, lucky items. This staff is designed and manufactured in Russia.

This item is not a single item, but is always on sale. Paintings are handwritten, so the face is slightly different.

The handmade feeling seems to suit the taste of the person being collected.

I wonder if it's perfect for a gift.

DSC02216a.jpg

Matryoshka

A slightly different species of matryoshka. The folk costumes of each country are depicted.

It is the second from the left of the four lower, the front is a Japanese doll.

Do you feel a little uncomfortable with the Russian people? That's also one of the things.

DSC02219a.jpg

Walnut doll

It's a German corner.

DSC02218a.jpg

Wooden toy (Kikkoro)

This is the work of a Japanese artist.

There is also a free service for anniversaries and names for celebrations. It's handwritten with an electric pen.

For details, please check with the store.

DSC02221a.jpg DSC02220a.jpg

Kokeshi doll

It is mainly from Fukushima and Yamagata.

DSC02226a.jpg DSC02223a.jpg

Usaburo Kokeshi doll

Since it is from Gunma, it seems that there is also a work at the nearby Gunma antenna shop "Gunma-chan family (Chi)".

In addition to Ultraman, the character kokeshi is also cute. It was also listed in the April issue of "Ginza Hundred Points".

DSC02229a.jpg

Accessories

It was made in Russia.

The cat in the center of the top is painted with paint, and the lame painted on it is painted on it.

It will also be a gift of Russian taste.

The classroom and event space on the first basement floor will be introduced in a later draft.

Ginza 7-10-5 Lan Dick No. 3 Ginza Building 1F and B1F

I will explain how to get there from the entrance of GINZA SIX (open on April 20), which is now talked about.

Take Chuo-dori (Ginza-dori) toward Shimbashi. Turn left between GINZA SIX and Bearhole Lion.

Turn right at the corner of GINZA SIX and Nikon Ginza Plaza, and you will find a sign on your right.

If you stop by GINZA SIX, it's close to a few minutes on foot, so why don't you take a look at the shop together?

The shops are always crowded with customers, but during the closing sale, more customers are coming to the store with a 1% discount.

In the image, there are few customers, but this is the result of taking a picture of the product shelf with sufficient timing. There were always queues at the three cash registers.

DSC02180a.jpg DSC02187a.jpg

A lot of products are expected to be sold out just before the store closes. Please purchase it as soon as possible.
