Tokyo Think Sustainability [English Site]: 【Urushi Report】Lacquered globe completed!

Welcome!

Our society have so many difficult, stratified problems not only multiple and global issues like climate change, environment, resource and poverty, but also weaken connection of local area in abundant Japanese society. Due to Great East Japan Earthquake, problems like energy, disaster prevention, etc. are shown.　However, this shows only a part of issues in society, isn’t it?　We think we need reconsider a living value that each person act by their own personal, deepen social tie with people who are close to them, has interest toward social basic issues, through experiences and lessons by suffering from the earthquake . Tokyo Think Sustainability (T2S) is platform acting for better society, which many people and organization participate in. Through T2S activities, let’s know ‘difficulty’, have ‘resolution’,and feel ‘pleasure’ of living in this period. We think we would like to expand our activities feeling worth doing and pleasure with citizens who have intention through various activities and people who never meet opportunity of acting.

【Urushi Report】Lacquered globe completed!

A trial of lacquered globe has been completed which we had ordered at “makie maker Yamaguchi” last December.

Japanese lacquer (;Urushi)

It’s been made in order to smooth talking and dialog: such as self introduction at events, the Earth dialog that performed at the globe summit 2012 Japan.

Of course, we were filled with the hope of prizing the tradition and culture of lacquer work. However, on the other hand, we had wanted to create a novel one, therefore we asked Mr. Yamaguchi for his cooperation. Fortunately, he empathized with us and accepted our request. We would like to have him make a new version of the globe based on the trial. Please look forward to see it!

By the way, we T2S is going to make various products such as Goen meishi card and lacquered globe that are innovative to tackle social issues, based on awareness of the issues that had been engendered at the events.

If you are interested in, please contact us. T2S.

What is ‘sustainable Tokyo?

Sustainability is the concept which represents whether human activities can sustain in the future. We use this word not only in economic and social disciplines, but also in environmental and energy issues. We T2S discuss, think, and act with ‘What is sustainable Tokyo?On ] thinking this theme, we grasp from the fundamental part of sustainability which include not only environment or energy issues but also culture and social diversity to the distribution of resource and security in global society, urban policies in future and the state of public management in Tokyo case.
