Stone, clay, ceramics, vessels, textiles, machinery, construction material…

Most of us makers who have tirelessly created over decades, some even over a century, do not get to see the face of those who would use our products.

That’s precisely why we imagine the faces of the people that would pick up our products, as we continue to refine our technique in our daily making.

Yet, sometimes we don’t just want to imagine.
Sometimes we want to converse directly.

This GEMBA Monodukuri Expo is an open factory event where we open the “sites of origin”, where things are born, to all of you users and receivers whom we usually do not meet.

Won’t you come visit the sites of production once in a while?
And just for a little bit, listen to what we have to say.

For all you know, this meeting may just lead to lasting creations that remain over the next century.
