ProtoType4 Pearl ◇W21-FUJIMURASAKI◇ One colors with Handles

Ideas Brought to Life: Tabletop Container "Solid Fuji-Murasaki" Prototype

• This prototype is the solid color type among four variations of the tabletop container case with a handle. I challenged this shape based on the work of a Taiwanese handicraft enthusiast.

Prototype Background and Challenges

After creating two (actually three) solid-color types, I simultaneously produced a total of five prototypes, asking: "How would it look with two colors?" or "What if the warp and weft materials were different colors?"

• Manufacturing Method: All main body sections were woven first, and the handles were attached afterward.
• Point of Reflection (Handle): Since no core material was inserted into the handle section, the finish was slightly distorted. My point of regret is that I wished for a bit more roundness.

The Challenge of Time Reduction and the Joy of Creation

• The main goal this time was to attempt simultaneous creation to learn how quickly the same shape could be produced.
• The finished product presented me with a challenge: "It's simple, but something is missing," and "More ingenuity is needed." However, the process of the things I create and imagine in my head actually taking shape is truly enjoyable.
• I proceed with manufacturing while envisioning what form the material will take. There are failures, but I strongly feel that the joy upon completion is immense.
• Of the tabletop container prototypes with handles, the Fuji-Murasaki (Wisteria Purple) color is a one-of-a-kind creation.
