[The concept is "a paper cup, that lasts forever"]

Using paper cup's shape as a subject, Glocal Standard Products's Kop is a wooden cup produced by using the thin-sawing technologies in Yamanaka, Ishikawa Prefecture, a city known to be the biggest lacquerware producing center in Japan.

Although paper cups have been popular for a long time, with a practical shape that has been deeply researched, once they are used, they are soon thrown away. However, unlike these paper cups, Kop can be washed and used for many times.

It is also popular for gifts. Receivers would surely be amazed by the thinness of its grain that is see-through.

[Gentle Healing for Your Hands]

Over the past three years, disinfecting hands has become as common as washing hands. Autumn and winter are the seasons when rough hands due to dryness inevitably occur.

Ao's Colored Handkerchiefs have a soft and fluffy texture, and the gentle colors found in nature, such as lemon, azalea, and kakitsubata (rabbitear), soothe the heart. The gauze material is soft against the skin, absorbent, and dries quickly.

Currently, Ao's Colored Handkerchiefs are on display at the Ginza showroom. Some customers noticed the red mark embroidered on the handkerchief and asked, "Is it from ao?" We recommend these handkerchiefs for your own hands or as a gift to someone.

Don't forget to bring a soothing handkerchief for your hands and hand cream.
