And inside of the box is made of a wooden straw-like cushion material to resemble a bird's nest in conjunction with the symbolic bird. The charm is gently stored on top of it. The fabric of Japanese charm is made of Nishijin brocade produced in Kyoto, giving it an elegant feel.

They can change your life with a single word. However, in today's daily information overflow world, I feel these precious words have become buried. The development of the Internet has overflowed us with so much information, and changes in communication tools have changed how words are used. Therefore, we decided to create a "product to protect precious words" to prevent them from being buried. This charm is to protect words, and at the same time, it is to create a connection between people. We want to create a future where people can continue to feel connected to others without feeling lonely. We believe that relationship is what makes people happy. CHALLENGE: The culture of letting words function as "OMAMORI"( ADDED DATE: 2022-07-23 09:19:59 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : IMAGE CREDITS: Shun Kudo PATENTS/COPYRIGHTS: ISSHO inc. |

NAME: KOTORI PROFILE: What do you think "precious words" are to you? For us, "precious words" are like "good luck charms. We may unexpectedly encounter an precious word at a turning point in our lives, such as a kind word from our mother, a harsh word from our father, a word of encouragement from our mentor, a word of encouragement from our boss, or a word of love from our lover. However, in this age of information overload, I believe that such precious words are gradually buried as we go about our daily lives. That is why I wanted to make "precious words" into a form of "charm" so that we can feel the connection with "precious people". |
