Welcome to the Feelware World of “kawaii” craftsmanship!
Have you heard of the Japanese word “kawaii” before? We Japanese people have valued our sensibility all through our history, an example being our great love for the beauty of cherry blossom.
When we use a gadget that we feel is “cool”, the feeling can stimulate our sensibility and our five senses will be activated – or maybe even six!
In modern society the value of information is changing all the time. At first we developed hardware, followed by software. We feel the third phase could eventually be “feelware”.
What is “feelware” then? Here we present “kawaii” craftsmanship for you.
While you use the “kawaii” gadget, it leads you to the “feelware world”, hopefully stimulating your sensibility!
