The "Aomori Nebuta Festival" is held from August 2nd to 7th every year. It features a performance by a large group of floats called "Nebuta" and "Haneto" dancing around, and many spectators come every year not only from Japan but also from overseas.
"NEBUTA STYLE" is a design brand that develops items such as lighting equipment, interior miscellaneous goods, and household goods based on the beauty and vitality of such nebuta. Before this summer, items with unique ideas in collaboration with various manufacturers and artists are on sale.
"KAKERA" is an interior lighting made by reusing the "Nebuta colored Japanese paper scraps = Nebuta fragments" that were actually operated. Since only the parts that use the three major techniques of Nebuta, "Bokuseki," "Waxing," and "Coloring," are carefully selected, it seems that only one to a maximum of 300 can be produced. Variations such as "Aya", "Hana", and "Fan" are available.
In addition, this year, a cute lighting "Nebuta Lamp" with a traditional Nebuta pattern on Japanese paper will be released. You can choose from a stand type and a pendant type.
In addition, there are plenty of daily necessities such as Nebuta Face Pack and stationery designed for Nebuta. There are fashionable items that even people who have never seen a nebuta will want.
NEBUTA STYLE aims to inherit the Nebuta culture by widely disseminating products that make use of Nebuta's unique technology and sensibilities, and by creating an environment for revitalizing local areas and fostering successors. Hoping that this enthusiastic festival will continue for decades, why not keep your Nebuta items at hand?
* Products that have already been released can be purchased at the official online shop and the antenna shop in Aomori Prefecture. The store for new summer products is currently undecided.
