Akasaka Mold Engraving, a mold making and engraving shop in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture. Currently, I am participating as a member of the manufacturing company side in "YAOYA PROJECT", which is for distributing manufacturing in Yao City overseas. Mr. Akasaka who traveled to Taiwan with the project members to learn about local culture and get ideas. Inspired in Taiwan, we have been meeting with the creators, and concrete plans for what kind of products to send to Taiwan seem to be coming out one after another. For example, material reuse. Akasaka says, "It's not fun if anyone can do it with technology, so it would be fun to modify the existing one and change the shape to make it a one-point product." San. Various shapes and materials to be processed. Akasaka has long been told that he wants not only to pursue dimensional accuracy, but also to pursue beauty and fun. "After all, craftsmanship burns as a craftsman who does not know the answer because there are no drawings. In other words, you have to think about how to achieve the shape you want to create from the state without an answer. While being a craftsman who makes delicate things, it is also an interesting idea man because it is interesting! And this time, Akasaka Mold Engraving's “Half-moon One-blade” seems to be making great use! Even a material with a large cutting resistance that escapes the blade if it is a normal blade can be neatly processed with a sharp half-blade single blade. Because you are a craftsman at Akasaka Die Engraver who can also process platinum, which is also called difficult-to-cut material, are you good at grasping the characteristics of the material? Mr. Akasaka said, "No, I don't know until I finish it, so I'm not good at anything!" I am looking forward to it. I would like to continue reporting on Mr. Akasaka's challenge at YAOYA PROJECT. Akasaka-san Thank you again!
