JAPANESE CRAFTSMANSHIP

Glass: Crystal-clear reminiscent of underwater

The long relationship between humans and glass is also the history in quest of light. From taking natural light into a dark room, using precious light source to efficiently illuminate space to the beauty of crystal reflecting light, glass is something that is necessary for living under light and also light is essential to give off its radiance through glass. To date, while the glass technology has developed around the world, the glass culture exudes an image of imported products in prewar Japanese society and it was mainly developed through processing technique like Kiriko. But now, it has become one of the world- class delicate technologies that creates a unique detailed expression that takes advantage of improved sophisticated technology. FIGURE STAGE’s glasses exudes an overwhelming presence, thanks to its sophisticated technology and designers’ extraordinary expressionistic abilities. The glasses are generated with high purity in flames and when completed, they have transparency like the ice like you never think it is an artificial material. Such a formative art that embraces natural beauty and depth indeed embodies the whole idea of Japan’s beauty. FIGURE STAGE also fully demonstrates such expressive power. In order to maximize figures’ beauty, the design incorporates feminine aesthetic appeal into the expression of glass, which uses soft, floating light to wrap around a figure. It will take you to a visionary unique world created by the texture of skin, hair and expressions that cannot be expressed under straight- line lighting. Your imagination expands to wonder how they will smile for you as she lands on a crystal-clear stage like a wavy water surface

Japanese paper, Washi: Japan’s spiritual nature dwells in changing light.

People used to think divine spirits dwell in the beauty of washi paper created in by craftsmen’s daunting, delicate technique and various environmental factors such as clear water and the climate.. Also, the Japanese paper is extremely strong and is said not to deteriorate over thousand years. It is the characteristic that only Japanese paper possesses. Even with its durability, the expressions of Japanese paper are extremely delicate. When light changes, it shows completely different textures and grabs the heart of those who behold. The changing beauty that never stays as it is also displays unchanging beauty that never fear of changes. People who sensed its preciousness saw the presence of divine spirits within.
With FIGURE STAGE, the expression of changing light adds new fascination to your figure. Its unique texture of wavy and transparent surface softly diffuses the color of changing light to create subtle hues to stage an exquisite expression that matches your figure.
The light from carefully handcrafted Japanese paper surely fascinates you and your figure with a beautiful world unlike anything seen before.

Mirror : New point of view

The bottom layer of FIGURE STAGE has a mirror glass. It is not an ordinary mirror and has a wavy and sand glass texture to cause a feeling of floating like a figure stands atop the cloud. Because FIGURE STAGE can be viewed from 360 degree angle and it is not subject to the limitation of viewing angle, it also offers the beauty that gives the pleasure and expansive space that a figure cannot offer as your figure is reflected at the bottom. The light softly penetrates through from the bottom and gives your figure skin texture and diffuseness similar to natural light. Additionally, the mirror portion shines and creates shadow depending on the intensity of light, showing the fascination of complex changes. Their appearance reflected in a mirror like a calm ocean might alter its facial expression than in real life.

Light: Mixture of light and light

One of the biggest features of FIGURE STAGE is the effects of light created by seven colors. While seven colors of LED light including red, blue, light blue, pink, green, purple and white are originally vivid colors, when you see it through glass and Japanese paper, the color magically changes to warm, soft light. Although light changes the expressions of material, material also changes light. Colorful light in seven colors mixing with light such as the sunshine creates delicate gradational color reminiscent of magnificent natural world respectively. With “SHIRANUI”, you can use the soft, warm gradational color to create a sentimental expression like the blue sky and sunset glow, and with “TOWA NO KAGE”, you can enjoy the changes of bright color that dramatically alters the expression of black Japanese paper.
From the sky, ocean to forest and unusual space, pleasure to loneliness, FIGURE STAGE shows expressions that can only be created with its unique complex of mixed light.

Control: Sensory operational feeling using hands

Hands has a great number of nerves and sense wide-ranging information from temperature, softness, air movement and texture. When you pet something you love, it is no doubt that you want to use our hands to directly touch it. Even if you cannot touch it, you can get close to it by reaching your hand to gain keen senses, humans’ sensory has a strong relation that ties emotions and nerves.
Also this time, FIGURE STAGE wants to understand how you value your figures. Besides the fun of remotely operating through smartphone and application, we added a physical approach and take advantage of the powerful device, which is your hand, so as to deepen your relationship with your figures through closer interactive. By putting your hands above your figure and move your hands just like you pet her, the color and brightness of the stage changes in detail. There is no need to touch the stage and figure. The stage senses your movement and responses interactively is a type of operation or rather communication. The figure’s expressions that change by encompassing light seem as if it responds to your facial expressions.

Sound: Sounds you hear in your palm

FIGURE STAGE also comes equipped with MP3 playback function.
You can save your favorite music and voice that match your figure on a SD card and insert it in a card slot of the stage and put your hands above it to select and play your favorite music just by extremely intuitive movement. The simultaneous operations of light and hands can be beautifully done with natural movement like a conductor. The possibilities are endless depending on how you stage it with the sounds such as your character’s theme song, story voice and BGM that adds depth to your figure’s expressions. You can also change the color by operating sound. This might allow you to discover a new aspect of your figure. Immerse yourself in a dramatic world to your heart’s content.

Design: Japan’s aesthetic appeal that stimulates five senses

Japan’s aesthetic sensibility is not only obtained visually, but it also can increase its depth by sensing with your entire body. Different materials of glass and Japanese paper stimulate the sense of touch and the combination of music and appealing figure tingles your hearing and vision.
The harmonization created by glass and Japanese paper having totally different texture at a glance gave us the possibility of fusing together Otaku culture and Japan’s traditional culture of beauty. Like the sun and moon, like yin and yang, the combination of totally opposite materials displays a ray of light that connects these two.
As we consider various harmonic possibilities for the design of stage, we offer “SHIRANUI” that uses white Japanese paper and delicate glass layers giving a soft impression, as well as ”TOWA NO KAGE” that uses black Japanese paper and glass surface with textured mirror surface, creating an impressive shadow like a deep forest. While both types display totally different expressions, their gentle, quiet Japanese atmosphere brings new perspective to your figure. What’s more, you can add an optional accessory decorated with feminine lace-type Japanese paper. With this, you can certainly add more cuteness to your figure.

ATELIER TECNO FORM

Under the theme, the harmonization of glass like crystal-clear water that is born in flames and the warmth of Japanese paper like a lamp that is generated from water, the designers working at the atelier create artworks that are shaped with strong vital force to embrace the beauty originated from the nature, giving off deviant expressive power. The presence, uniqueness and artistic nature of their artworks are highly appreciated in Japan and from this year, the atelier takes charge of art direction for the Ritz-Carlton that boasts the highest hospitality in Japan to breathe new life into the world of time-honored hospitality.
