+Style: Art Right at Your Fingertips

Here is a unique gadget called a "finger brush" and just as the name implies, it's a brush that fits onto your fingertip.

In Japan's ancient capital Nara, a 200-year-old ink manufacturer has created a new unique sort of brush.

We find out how and why it was developed.

Special Report: Shoes Fresh from the Oven

We visit a company in western Japan that has decided to take the more challenging approach of making its shoes by hand.

We take a look at a surprisingly affordable and stylish sneaker with a hand-made warmth that can't be copied on an assembly line.
We visit the factory where it is made and check out the techniques used for creating the line called "Shoes Like Pottery".
