Data di messa in onda: Mag 02, 2012

Special Report: Traditional Craftsmanship Freshens Up with Modern Design A company that has been making bronze cast products since 1897 has recently started to also produce its own brand of stationery, kitchen utensils and interior decorations. The collaboration between one local designer and a traditional manufacturer has resulted in a line of unique and elegant products. At the same time, it has breathed new life into a time-honored form of craftsmanship. On Site: Tokyo Motorcycle Show 2012 The superior performance of Japanese motorcycles is renowned around the world. We visit the Tokyo Motorcycle Show, as there is no better place to check out the latest Japanese powerhouses. Schedule: March 23-25 Location: Tokyo Big Sight Several Japanese manufacturers share a large part of the worldwide Motorcycle market. We recently visited the 2012 Tokyo Motorcycle with exhibitions from companies around the world. An amazing number of the latest models from foreign brand names were also on display. We cannot feature all of them in the program, but you can check them out in the photos below. +Style: Reinventing Socks Socks have had the same basic shape for ages. But these socks bring a whole new "angle" to the idea of comfort. How about offering the gift of comfort from Japan? We introduce socks that are shaped like an "L", with a right angle. This unique shape is supposed to make the socks easier to put on and more comfortable. We asked their creator to explain the idea behind their development.
