* [Event details] *
Higashiosaka Brand will be holding the “Growing and Connecting Manufacturing Exhibition” again this year in order to introduce certified products and the charm of Higashiosaka, a manufacturing town.
The theme of this second edition is * “Tools and Tools that Support Manufacturing” *.
The exhibition will introduce the history, manufacturing process, and evolution of functions of familiar tools such as pliers, nippers, and adjustable wrenches made in Higashiosaka.
Hand tools are tools that are an extension of the hand and enable tasks that are difficult to do by hand.
Tools, which were the raw materials that human ancestors obtained from the natural environment, have been processed and refined over many years to create the tools that support modern manufacturing. “Manufacturing” and the tools that support it continue to evolve mutually, and new products are created.
Through this exhibition, we hope you will experience the evolution of products unique to Higashiosaka and the passion behind them.
