It's small and cute! "Seki's Bean Scissors,"
＠Cohana Nihonbashi Main Store (Part 1)
This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.♪
Actually, this is the only story here.
I'm very clumsy. (voice)
I was like that, but about three years before my daughter Azuki (Small 1) entered kindergarten.
It's an environment where you can't escape from sewing.
Garden goods such as drawstring bags, handbags, and shoebags for changing clothes are available.
I think we can deal with it by buying it to some extent.
2 days after admission
"The loop originally attached to the garden cap is so small that young people can't hook well.
So sew this (with a long rope-shaped string)."
Beginning with this communication, the work of "sewing" increased somehow.
Recently, "Okasan! Buttons of uniforms are gone!" ・・・。
My mother bought a spare button at a standard clothing store that crying and crying (78 yen per piece) and sewed it at night ...
It was like that.
Isn't it possible to hold the needle and thread a little positively?
For it was a very serious problem.
At that time, I was in Nihonbashi Muromachi.
It was "Cohana Nihonbashi Main Store"!
What Cohana wants to take care of: inheriting traditional techniques
The Cohana brand was launched by KAWAGUCHI Co., Ltd., which handles handicraft tools and supplies.
Originally, it was a company that mainly deals with handicraft tools and supplies for professionals.
You have a problem.
That is "the inheritance of traditional technology."
In the first place, the number of craftsmen from all over Japan who make handicraft tools and supplies is decreasing.
The current situation is that technology is lost as a result.
And the decline in the handicraft population as an individual.
Certainly, my mother is a very handy person.
(Actually, Azuki's school goods are mostly made by my mother.)
However, I myself am a person who does not have needles and threads unless necessary.
It seems true that the younger generation, the fewer people do handicrafts.
In other words, there are no people who do handicrafts. → The tools used to do so are also less likely to be needed.
→The craftsman will not be able to make it. → A negative loop of technology is being lost ... is born.
What was born there
"Let's make an exciting tool that makes you want to do handicrafts again."
"In addition to those who do handicrafts, let's make something that you can think of."
"Let's create something that will support the skills of craftsmen to pass on."
That's what I thought.
Nihonbashi, Tokyo, is the beginning of the five highways.
That's why the "good things" of craftsmen from all over Japan come together.
So at Cohana, I was able to combine the "good things" of craftsmen from all over Japan.
(The image was borrowed from Cohana official website.)
I imagine it would be very hard to make a good combination.
Even so, the collaboration of about 60 local industries has been realized at present.
All of them are products with good traditional skills of craftsmen.
In addition, it also includes "Kaaisa, where adults are excited."
Personally ...
A waiting needle with a cute little mizuhiki
If you have a thread-cut scissors wrapped with beautiful colors at hand
I feel that the "motivation" for needlework is certainly springing up!
The traditional Japanese colors used as Cohana's "five basic colors" are also exciting points.
(Yellow daffodil, rose color, water onion, exposed grass color, Fukagawa Rat)
All of them are vivid and beautiful, and I think they will enrich their hearts, including the wording of the color name.
One of the many collaboration products born in this way is also recommended souvenirs in Chuo-ku.
It's "Seki's bean scissors"!
Small, cute, and convenient scissors!
Originally, I think Seki's knives are famous for their high technical skills.
Hasegawa Kimono, a knives manufacturer founded in 1933 in Seki City, is a knives manufacturer.
"How small and well-cut scissors can be made?"
This "bean scissors" was born.
It's small, but it's easy to cut with the power of the spring, and it's a good job.
Also, the wonderful point of this scissors is that it can be brought in on board!
Inadvertently, my mother would not put a small scissors into the baggage that she brought into the plane several times.
I've been confiscated at the baggage inspection area several times.
What are the conditions that are prohibited from carrying in airplanes?
"The blade (the length of the straight line connecting the cutting edge and the center of the screw) is 6 cm or less.
The tip is not sharp and the blade is not sharp."
Yes, but this is enough to be cleared.
・・・The bag of snacks is hard to open in the plane.
Don't you ever want to use a little scissors?
In this case, I think it's very convenient to put a little in your travel baggage!
A small bunch of silk threads that make it more cute.
This is carefully produced by MARIMO, a workshop in Chikugo City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
The colors are 5 basic colors of Cohana. All of them are bright and adult-friendly colors.
There is also a leather case on the cutting edge made by a leather craftsman in Kyoto.
It's small, but cute, but I think it's finished in a gem full of technology!
There's also a set with a bean drawstring.♪
From those who purchased "Seki no Mame Scissors"
It seems that there was a request saying, "I'm glad if there is a case for carrying bean scissors."
Surely small scissors. If you inadvertently lose it, it's hard!
That's right.
"Seki's bean scissors and bean drawstring set" is also on sale.
The size of this bean drawstring and bean scissors just fit.
It is a color and design that can be used as a charm for the bag.
For example, a thread that jumped out of the hem of the skirt on the go.
When there is no place to throw away lint after cutting with bean scissors.
It's smart to put it in a hurry bean drawstring.
It's a good guy of "Seki no Mame Scissors", which has both practical and design.
In fact, Cohana's products are also wonderful, and there are plenty of exciting things.
In the next article, I would like to introduce that area as well!
