These products are divided into domestic factories that specialize in each process, and each piece is made with care.

■What is the Good Design Award?
The Good Design Award is an activity that aims to improve our lives and society through design. Since its inception in 1957, it has been widely known along with its symbol, the "G Mark." Awards are given for various things that surround us, such as products, architecture, software, systems, and services. Regardless of whether it has a physical form or not, we consider design to be something that people have built to fulfill some ideal or purpose, and we evaluate and honor its quality.
