Passion and Dedication of the Craftsman

This shoehorn is designed in a streamlined shape
reminiscent of a Japanese sword,
and is decorated with the handle and brim of a sword
using armor manufacturing methods and techniques.
The shoehorn is designed by 3D modeling to look like a real sword.
The storage chest that holds the shoehorn is also decorated
with armor technique called "Odoshi",
which adds a sense of dignity to the styling.
Yasuhiro Okoshi, a traditional craftsman of "Koshigaya Armor," says,
"I hope people will enjoy the gap between what looks like
a Japanese sword and a shoehorn."
