渾身の＜日本の伝統を刻み続けるセイコーと和光物語＞、どうぞご覧ください。
銀座のランドマーク和光と明治時代から日本の時計業界を牽引してきた服部時計店。セイコーと和光が守ってきた日本の時計の歴史と創業者服部金太郎の哲学を解き明かす。
—–
世界の大都市にはその街を象徴するランドマークがある。日本を代表する都市、東京の銀座4丁目交差点角地に位置する和光は、日本の経済復興と発展の歴史を反映してきた。同時に、常に銀座4丁目にあって正確に時を刻む優美な時計塔の姿は、日本の最先端の技術と信頼、日本人の普遍の美意識の象徴だ。
和光の前身である服部時計店（現セイコーホールディングス株式会社）の創業は国内に近代時計産業が芽生える前の1881年。創業者服部金太郎は21歳で時計修理と舶来時計の輸入販売を開始。ビジネスの才に長けた服部は慣習にとらわれず、取引の約定を守ることで外国商館の信頼を得て、外国商館より輸入する舶来時計の新モデルを優先的に販売、成功を収める。
「常に時代の一歩先を行く」をモットーとした服部は輸入時計販売に飽き足らず、1892年、欧米に比す精巧な時計を製造することを目標に工場名を「精工舎」とし、時計製造に着手した。記事の続きはプロフィールのリンクより。

DISCOVER: Traditional Japanese Craft at The Niwa Futon Store
Based in Japan’s Aichi prefecture, The Niwa Futon store believes there are some things that can be modified according to the times and others that should never change. The traditional techniques used here were inherited from the store’s founder back in the Meiji era over 150 years ago and have been passed down through the generations ever since. Due to this, the store hasn’t changed since it was founded and neither has the traditional crafting techniques used to create the products.
With a store and workshop in Atsuta-ku, Nagoya, the cotton-making family business was first started by Chushichi, who died in 1874. In 1958, the retail business opened its doors as “Niwa Futon Store”. The knowledge and skills acquired from Chushichi – from “cotton making” to “futon making” – are traditional techniques that the store still uses now, and their focus on blending different types of cottons together is unique to them. The current owner is the fifth generation to run the store and they now produce not only futons but also pillows and sofas that utilize futon technology.

High-quality shape, style and functionality, Niwa Futon Store’s futons ensure a good night’s sleep. The mattress is made by stacking multiple layers of cotton of varying hardness. A firm cotton is used which does not lose its springiness even if strong pressure is applied. You can easily grow accustomed to the gentle touch, but in combination with the resilient hardness maintained by the carefully blended cottons, you’re guaranteed a comfortable feeling of stability.

The Japanese cushion has a delicate shape unique to handcrafting which provides comfort with an aesthetic beauty. Using the same techniques as futon-making, the craftsmen begin by selecting a unique blend of carefully selected cotton materials. The finished product is a beautifully shaped cushion that is extremely comfortable to sit on. The cushions do not lose their shape easily, and their beauty and comfort is long-lasting.

KYO-SOKU is a relaxation tool that easily blends with modern life and makes use of futon-making techniques. The firm feel of the buckwheat husks gently wrapped in cotton provides support for your body as an armrest and backrest on the sofa, or even on the floor.

DISCOVER: Made in Japan: Daiyo
For over 100 years, Japanese candlemakers Daiyo have been contemplating the relationship between man and flame, bringing calm and comfort to the homes of thousands with their hand-crafted candles, or warousoku.
Through four generations, family-run Daiyo have mastered the art of hand-crafting traditional Japanese candles using natural materials, free from contaminants. Working tirelessly from their workshop in Takashima, Shiga Prefecture, Daiyo’s craftsmen draw on decades of knowledge and skill, moulding locally-sourced plant wax into a core range of sustainable, timeless candles.
Burning for twice as long as contemporary candles with almost no smoke, odour or dripping wax, Daiyo’s warousoku provide gentle flames to eat, drink, bathe or meditate beside.
