Since Hokusei established its branch in Hokkaido, the company has supported some members in Sapporo Style. For example, CEO Shotaro Tomita delivered a lecture to explain his hometown, Takaoka City, at The Sapporo Chamber of Commerce and Industry in September 2015.
Since then, Hokusei introduced the artists of Takaoka City to Sapporo Style because Takaoka is famous for its metal casting, called “Takaoka Casting“. momentum factory Orii is one of them.
Orii worked with Mio Kobo, one of the members in Sapporo Style, and created beautiful products.
Nikkei Newspaper (Hokuriku Local) reported this collaboration on 23rd April 2016.
Hokusei will continue its efforts to connect Hokkaido and Toyama thereafter.
