2024 Tokyo Metropolitan Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Agency Director's Award Busyo goma Okoshi Chu Mfg., Inc.
A Beautiful Spinning Top Incorporating Traditional Katchu-making Techniques, Designed as Both a Toy and an Interior decoration Piece
The "Gogatsu-ningyo (May dolls)," considered to be amulets that ward off misfortune and calamities, are crafted together with koma (spinning tops), which symbolize "things running smoothly" due to their ability to spin steadily. This combination is created to produce a lucky charm that ensures a "healthy and happy life". Distilling the core elements of katchu--kozane (plates) and odoshi (lacing)--together with vivid fabric and kumihimo (braided cords), we translate them into the form of a spinning top, crafted with uncompromising attention to its beauty in motion.
