Many people may know if you are on a fixie"Runwell"

BROTURES has been collaborating and handling many products for more than 5 years.
The products are created by craftsmen and are really beautiful and easy to use.

The goodness of the product had already been fully transmitted, but I only knew in the text, so I went to the place where the product was created.

The place where RUNWELL is located is in the Tsubame Sanjo area in Niigata Prefecture.
In the old days, it is a town that has been used as hardware and metal processing since the Edo period.
Outdoor goods SnowPeak, stainless steel tumbler Thermos, etc.
The capital of the Japanese processing technology that is active in the world of brands, factories, and craftsmen.

What a local history in 2025400 yearsIt seems to be.
It's too old to understand, but it's amazing that making things until now.


The person in the photo with me is the market price of Runwell.

In the gallery, there are not only tools, but also for collaboration products and bicycles with a market price.
That space was also comfortable.

After that, it was said that it was the process of having a Runwell product, or the factory was also seen.
Elderly and women are also working, and I am impressed that we have the products we handle at the store here.

The factory tour when I was little was over and it was over. However, when I looked at the process of making the tools and things I use at this age, I thought that the fun was completely different and the way of feeling was different.

What I listen to, seeing and seeing too much information, but it was fun and I couldn't help it.
It may be good to write in the text, but this time I would like to tell you a little in the photo.

The image below is a wrench before becoming a product.
Just looking at this is exciting.

This time to Tsubame Sanjo, we asked about the factory tour, the story of the future, etc., but we talked about tools all day long from morning to midnight.
There are lots of things that you will never get tired of listening to materials and stories about the history of things.

In the introduction of Mr. Market, I saw other town factories and talked about it.
The content of the day is too dark ...

While talking to the craftsmen, the attitude of trying to respond to any request is only respected."If you want to make it, you can do anything"I take off my hat for the encouragement.

I work in a country of Japan, and there are a lot of parts that I want, and I envision them.
I don't know when it will be realized yet"I want to work with these people"　"I want these people to make things"
I felt like that.

And it consists of such a wonderful areaRunwellA brand.
Needless to say, the accuracy is outstanding, and it is a product that pursues not only the unique appearance, but also the ease of gripping and the ability to apply.
Tools that are now spreading not only in Japan but also in the world.
If you don't have it yet, you should pick it up, and you can make a collection.
Is it the birth of a brand called Runwell? I would like to introduce the historical part with another opportunity.

I think Broturs will still work together in the future, and maybe something special.
Well, you enjoy that area.

PS
When I went to Niigata, the roads and parking lots were red as shown in the image.
I heard that the entire road was rusted as if it were snowy in winter, as if it were snowy.
It doesn't matter, but if you go, please take a look.
