00:00Now, this week has started again. This is Kitakoi.
00:04Last time, we went to a lot of places related to sumo wrestling in this Ryogoku town.
00:09This Ryogoku area also has a face as a town of making things.
00:14Oh, I see.
00:16So today, I would like to go around in various ways towards the point of making things.
00:22Last time, we enjoyed sumo culture by eating delicious food on the floor.
00:31This area, including Kuramae, is also famous as a town of making things.
00:36In the past, I visited a silver product workshop in Kitakoi.
00:41I had a valuable experience of making a pure silver spoon while receiving a lecture from a craftsman.
00:49It is amazing that it can be put in a hard ice cream.
00:54In Ryogoku and Kuramae area, there are still many attractive places to experience making things.
01:02I also found a cute new specialty unique to this town.
01:19Let's go to the town of making things!
01:24Kitakoi
01:47I got a lot of information in the town of making things.
01:50I can't stop being excited.
01:52Kitakoi
02:17This week's guest is Kudo Yume-chan from Hokkaido, a member of JuiceJuice.
02:27This year's Halloween, I would like to give her a treat with the voice of Trick or Treat.
02:35To get to Ryogoku Station from Kitakoi, take the Tokyo Monorail from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho.
02:42From there, take the JR Yamanote Line and the Chuo Sobu Line, and it will take about 40 minutes.
02:49Kitakoi
02:52The street we are walking now is the street with the name of the person who was born in Sumida Ward.
03:03Who do you think it is?
03:05Sumida Ward?
03:10The hint is that it is a historical city, so it is a historical figure.
03:15It is a person who drew a picture.
03:19I was surprised.
03:21Katsushika Hokusai
03:23That's right.
03:24The street with the name of Katsushika Hokusai is called Hokusai Street.
03:30Sumida Hokusai Museum where you can enjoy works of Hokusai on the street.
03:36There is a bronze statue of Katsushika Hokusai near it, and it is also a photo spot.
03:43This shop is a popular shop as a new specialty of Hokusai Street.
03:53This is it.
03:55There is a picture.
03:57It's a little chic.
03:59Hello.
04:05Look.
04:07It's beautiful and colorful.
04:10What kind of shop is this?
04:13This is an interior design shop.
04:17It is an interior design shop.
04:20This is a shop that offers new room shoes.
04:24This is a shop that offers new room shoes.
04:27Zori is a very simple and Japanese image.
04:34It's very colorful.
04:36That's right.
04:38This is an old-fashioned product, but we made it according to the atmosphere of the modern era.
04:45It's soft.
04:48Zori is a straw that makes a sound.
04:56It's a new fabric because it has a familiar fabric rather than a sound.
05:03We use merias to finish the foundation.
05:07Do you know what merias is?
05:10Merias is a knitwear.
05:15Zori is made of merias, which is also a famous product of Sumida Ward.
05:20It is a fabric that is elastic and easy to wear.
05:26Kaorin, Yume, what do you think?
05:30It's comfortable to wear.
05:35It's soft.
05:37It feels good.
05:38You can get rid of the tiredness of your feet.
05:41Stand up and walk.
05:44This is easy.
05:46It's not just cute.
05:48The back of my feet is heaven.
05:54It's fluffy.
05:58It's like walking on my favorite carpet.
06:02I didn't know the back of your feet was so sensitive.
06:06I didn't know that either.
06:08I would be happy if my grandparents gave me this as a gift.
06:13While leaving the traditional Japanese style,
06:17adding new things to make it better.
06:21I think this will be a new attraction.
06:27Is this what you were aiming for?
06:30That's right. Thank you.
06:32It's a new attraction.
06:35How is the new attraction made?
06:40I made a string to be the foundation of Zori.
06:45A string?
06:47It's made of a string.
06:51It looks like this.
06:53It's very elastic.
06:56It's made of a lot of strings.
06:59It's very comfortable.
07:03How does this string become Zori?
07:07It's made by a craftsman.
07:12It's made by hand.
07:17It takes about three hours to make it.
07:20It takes that long?
07:24It takes about two years to make this Zori.
07:30Did you like making Zori?
07:34I used to make Zori with flowers.
07:39I wanted to make a real Zori,
07:43so I asked a craftsman to make it for me.
07:47How difficult was it?
07:50It was very difficult to balance the left and right,
07:53and adjust the strength from the beginning to the end.
07:58What were you thinking about when you were making it?
08:02I was thinking about how to make it beautiful,
08:06and how to make the stitches look the same.
08:12You didn't think about what kind of flowers to make, did you?
08:16A little bit.
08:19There are new designs for flowers and Zori every season,
08:24but there are also unique designs for this town.
08:28It's a love-hate quiz!
08:30There are a lot of designs.
08:33This is the second one,
08:36which is a little behind Mr. Iida.
08:40These two Zori are based on something.
08:47What do you think it is?
08:49A townscape?
08:51A townscape.
08:53Mr. Iida.
08:55Skytree.
08:57Skytree.
08:59I can see the sky,
09:02but I can also see the road I walked today.
09:07He's the only one.
09:10Do you remember some of his works?
09:13The most famous one in Nami.
09:16Something.
09:18That's correct.
09:20It's a Zori based on a work by Hokusai Katsushika.
09:25The correct answer is
09:27a Zori based on a work by Hokusai Katsushika.
09:33Let's compare it with Ukiyo-e.
09:37This is Mr. Fuji's work.
09:40It's a Zori based on a work by Hokusai Katsushika.
09:45This is a Zori based on a work by Hokusai Katsushika.
09:52This is a Zori based on a work by Hokusai Katsushika.
09:59It's a famous work that I've seen in textbooks.
10:03Many foreigners come to the museum.
10:09They come to the museum because they see the Zori based on a work by Hokusai Katsushika.
10:17That's why this Zori is the most popular.
10:20I think that foreigners can choose a more Japanese-like Zori.
10:29It's very good.
10:31You can buy Merikoti's Zori online.
10:35If you're interested, why don't you check it out?
10:41There is also a workshop where you can make a Zori based on a work by a craftsman.
10:51Thank you for showing us various crafts.
10:57This is a sticker of Kitakoi. Please use it if you like.
11:01I'd be happy if you could display it.
11:06Thank you for introducing us to Ryogoku's new products.
11:11Next, Kitakoi went to Kuramae, next to Ryogoku by subway.
11:18Next, we came to Kitakoi in the Kuramae area.
11:22This is an area called Goshita-machi.
11:25We came to a shop to introduce in the Kuramae area.
11:29This is the shop.
11:31It's a glass-cutting shop.
11:33It's fashionable.
11:34It's fashionable, but I don't know what kind of shop it is.
11:38There are a lot of customers at this time.
11:41It's still early in the morning.
11:47Hello.
11:50There is a beautiful pen.
11:52There is an enemy pen.
11:55This is a stationery store.
11:57We sell stationery with original ink.
12:00It's not just black.
12:02This is a stationery store that develops stationery full of originality with the concept of having fun writing.
12:10There is also a crayon.
12:12It's amazing.
12:14Is this different from a normal crayon?
12:16I'll try it on.
12:18What color is it?
12:20It's normal.
12:22It's lighter than the crayons used by children.
12:30It's true.
12:31I can write smoothly.
12:33I like the taste that only crayons can produce.
12:39It's cute.
12:40I changed the pen.
12:42I'm used to writing.
12:44In addition, there are about 1,000 original products and select products that can be used as a trigger for writing on a notebook, pencil, and pen.
12:54It's a fun shop just to look at.
12:58In addition,
12:59We also provide a service to make original notebooks over there.
13:05I hope you can see it today.
13:09You can make an original notebook here.
13:16Two people who usually use notebooks will also try it.
13:21How to make an original notebook
13:24First, choose a cover and a back cover from about 60 types.
13:31Next is the paper inside.
13:34You can choose the color and line of the cover according to your needs.
13:40Finally, decide on a string or a rubber band and you're done.
13:45The size is divided into B5 and B6.
13:51First, decide which size you want to make.
13:56My bag is small, so I'll choose B6.
14:04First, choose a cover from Kaorin.
14:07It's cute.
14:09I like the feeling of handwriting.
14:12Are there any designers here?
14:14Yes, we collaborate with artists and designers to make original patterns.
14:24I think a red notebook would be nice.
14:27It's passionate.
14:28Do you know what it is?
14:29Yes.
14:31I like the way it is.
14:34It's a ribbon.
14:36It's so cute.
14:38I'm so happy.
14:41Kaorin found something she's always worried about.
14:47It's a flower called Aino Tane.
14:50It's an English word.
14:52I like flowers.
14:55You can choose an accent pattern.
14:58You can also choose a plain back cover to make it chic.
15:02There are many customers like that.
15:05It's cute.
15:06It's a back cover.
15:08It's nice.
15:09It's cool.
15:10How do you like it?
15:11I think it's too flashy for people in their 40s.
15:17No, I don't think so.
15:19I think it's good for people of all ages.
15:22I think it's great.
15:23So, the flower pattern and the chic back cover have been decided.
15:28Next is choosing the paper inside.
15:32You can choose the color of the paper.
15:37That's right.
15:38It's divided into packs.
15:40You can choose up to four packs.
15:43I think many customers choose two to four packs.
15:50I made up my mind.
15:51You're quick today.
15:52Yes, I am.
15:54This time, she didn't have to worry about it.
15:58Next, Yume-chan will choose a bigger B5 size than Iida-san.
16:03I'm thinking of making a aquarium diary.
16:08I love octopuses.
16:10So, I'm thinking of making a notebook to write down my impressions of aquariums.
16:15I'm thinking of choosing a sea-like pattern.
16:19That's good.
16:20Octopus.
16:21Yes.
16:22This is a fish.
16:23It's red and beautiful.
16:25This one.
16:27The back is octopus color.
16:29It's cute.
16:33She decided on the fish pattern and the octopus color based on her advice.
16:37What's inside?
16:40I'm the type of person who writes four pieces of paper when I was in elementary school.
16:45I think it's good to have a lot of lines.
16:49As she wished, she chose a piece of paper with a line.
16:54And finally, she chose a ring and a stopper to stop the notebook.
17:01Please hesitate.
17:02Should I stop it now?
17:04I'm sure you'll hesitate.
17:05Please guess what it is.
17:07It's a calm gold.
17:11I want to put pink in the stopper.
17:16It's cute.
17:17It's a cute accent.
17:19I chose my favorite white.
17:24I'm going to make a circle.
17:27I thought the color would be decided.
17:29It looks like an octopus.
17:30I'm going to make a circle with red sand.
17:32It's very nice.
17:33Why don't you make it look like an octopus?
17:36Oh, here?
17:37That's right.
17:38It's innovative.
17:40I want to do it.
17:43If you choose all the parts, the clerk will make it right in front of you.
17:49It's not a machine, it's made by hand.
17:52It takes a lot of power.
17:55I've been using a hole punch lately, so I think that's what it feels like.
17:59That's right.
18:05Do you feel like you're using it?
18:08That's right.
18:09There are a lot of holes in the hole punch that everyone uses.
18:15You don't have to put that much effort into it.
18:18There's a hole in it.
18:21That's right.
18:22When you stop the ring, you cut it and stop it.
18:32It's really handmade.
18:35That's a lot.
18:39It's done.
18:40It's fast.
18:41It's fast.
18:42It took less than a minute or two.
18:43That's right.
18:46It was done in no time.
18:48After this, we will show you an original notebook that is unique in the world.
18:58Kitako's family visited a stationery store in Kuramae, Tokyo.
19:04They met the original notebook that Kaorin and Yume-chan made.
19:09It's cute.
19:12It was done in no time.
19:14It was fast.
19:16It's cute.
19:18I chose everything I like, so it feels very special.
19:23That's right.
19:24Here is the notebook they made.
19:28Kaorin chose a flower-patterned cover and a pink button.
19:33Yume-chan chose a fish-patterned cover and a octopus-colored string.
19:39It's the most important notebook in the world.
19:44I was particular about the inside.
19:46I like the sound.
19:49There are many colors.
19:53This is the important photo.
19:56I put it in here.
19:58Let's make a lot of memories.
20:00I feel like a student.
20:05I want to make a collection of notebooks here.
20:14Even if you change the notebook, you can change the paper inside, so you can use it forever.
20:22In addition, not only the notebook, but also the original ink is popular.
20:29You can choose your favorite color from 17 colors of ink and mix them one by one.
20:38You can make your favorite color and thickness of original ink.
20:44Why don't you make your own original stationery?
20:52Thank you, Mr. Kakimori.
20:57We have a present for you this time, too.
21:03We have a present for you.
21:05It's a letter set.

21:20Today, we went around Ryogoku and Kuramae area.
21:24We had a lot of experiences.
21:26I met Zori for the first time.
21:28It was a time when I felt the connection of people who loved what I made over time.
21:36It's not normal.
21:38I felt like I had something to show my personality.
21:45I enjoyed making things that I couldn't find anywhere else.
