hoki_hera
ホウキの原材料のホウキモロコシ。
収穫した材料の一部はホウキとして使われず苦労して育てた材料が端材となります。
hoki_heraは、その端材で作ったホウキにも畑にも優しい靴ベラです。
Broom Corn, main material for brooms.
Portion of the harvested material will remain unused in broom production, and the result of great effort poured into cultivation will become mere offcuts.
hoki_hera is a farm and broom friendly shoe horn made by maximizing these not so ordinary offcuts.

“長野県松本市の民芸品の松本箒。作り手さんにお会いした時に「ぜひうちの畑を見てください」と言われました。その工房では畑仕事で箒を素材から作っており、畑仕事7:箒を作る仕事3くらいの割合で仕事をされています。箒の材料は厳選しているため多くの端材が出るとの話を聞き、端材でできる靴ベラを提案しました。”
“Matsumoto Hoki (broom) is a craft in Matsumoto, Nagano. When I visited the maker, they insisted to see their farm. The workshop makes the broom from the process of growing the raw material: 70% of the work is done on the farm and 30% is the making the product. I learned that the material for the broom is carefully selected which results in a lot of offcuts so I designed a shoehorn made out of the offcuts. ”
