Aoyama main store's first workshop.
Thank you to everyone who participated within the limited number of slots.
A time to immerse yourself in whether you are an adult or a child.
It was a day that went by in the blink of an eye, filled with many different colors, sometimes serious, and sometimes filled with laughter.
Here, we will introduce a scene from the day of the event.
What was very impressive this time was how many customers shared their experiences with their children.
“I wanted people to know the real thing through the experience of making it themselves.”
At first, the children were the main ones working hard to make the trays, but gradually the parents turned on and started working with great enthusiasm.
After completing the process in the workspace specially set up for the shop, we invited the participants to enter the atelier where Kusagaya, Brooklyn's representative and head craftsman, creates his products, and experience his own techniques such as ``Nen-hiki'' and ``Sewing with a sewing machine.''
At first, the customers were hesitant, thinking it would be difficult, but then their eyes lit up, saying, ``It's fun!'' and ``I want to do more!'' and we were so happy to see them.
We have held several workshops in the past, and the most common comment we hear from customers is, ``It's a lot more time-consuming than I imagined.''
For the first time, he realized for the first time the process by which the products he uses go through and how much time and effort goes into them, and his feelings about them have changed deeply.
"Take care of things"
The simpler things are, the more difficult it is to know how to convey them.
In a world overflowing with things we take for granted, seeing things with your own eyes, using your hands, thinking with your head, and feeling with your heart is the greatest asset of all.
The only source of knowledge is experience.
The only source of knowledge is experience.
──Albert Einstein
Even the slightly crooked stitches and protruding edges are proof that you made it yourself.
The leather tray was completed, and the space in which participants were able to communicate with each other while stuffing themselves with Cake au Chocolat from Patisserie L'essentielle was exactly the kind of landscape that the Brooklyn Museum would like to preserve.
A time full of love where we shared learning and excitement through "experiences," felt the value of limited natural resources, and got a glimpse of the manufacturing process at the Brooklyn Museum.
Please look forward to the next time.
