It is said that the history of wire netting ware ("Kanaami" in Japanese) in Kyoto goes back more than ten centuries. Used as kitchen utensils in Kyoto cuisine, these tools have been cherished by chefs in the city through the ages. At Kanaami-Tsuji, using original techniques such as kiku-dashi ("chrysanthemum pattern") and kikko-ami ("tortoise shell netting"), we offer tofu servers and tea sifts that are individually handmade, as well as custom-made orders for metal grills to match specific bowls or vessels. Based on our concept to produce handmade utensils that can be also used in contemporary lifestyles, we proactively explore potentiality of Kyoto craftsmanship in collaboration with international designers and/or typical industries.

Film Cycle Project ‘Film Cycle’ is a social design project that aims to make an effective cycle of personal media, using ‘old’ personal media footage that includes 8mm films and various photos taken in present time. In this project, personal life stories are collected via images contributed by the viewers. These stories play important roles to establish new media which weaves new narratives to be shared within and beyond different communities. The project’s mission is to preserve and share those personal stories in order to build connections between people across different generations, contributing to create a world of empathy. The process of discovering values of used products in its ‘memories’ proposes us unique idea about recycling. The project is conducted in association with Ooe High School, Tokushima University’s Sahara Lab and NPO remo.
