Jul. 18, Wed.
On Site: Interior Lifestyle Tokyo 2012

We visit a trade show featuring interior products where we'll see the latest trends in designs intended to make our day-to-day living just a little bit better.

Schedule: June 6-8, 2012
Location: Tokyo Big Sight

The things that surround us in our everyday lives are one indication of how we live.
The Interior Lifestyle Fair focuses on products designed to add a little flair to the time we spend at home.
We check out some innovative and useful products with a unique look and feel.


+Style: A Traditional Tea Canister

We take a look at a household item that is as simple as it is practical: a can.
But not just any can. This is a can with a story.
This is an award-winning tea canister hand crafted with precision in a small shop run by a family with experience that spans over six generations.

In a select boutique in Tokyo, we came across a very beautiful but functional tea canister.
We were amazed to see how the lid seemed to glide on when opening it and putting it back on.
We take you to the oldest shop in Kyoto making tea canisters.
After that, you'll never look at a humble tin can the same way again.

Special Report: Custom Made Insoles

With Olympic fever gripping the world, we take a look at a story involving top athletes and insoles that are custom made for their shoes.
The insoles are made by a trainer who has spent over 15 years evaluating Japanese people's feet and their walking posture.

This time, we meet up with a former professional tennis player. However, we focus our attention not on her playing, but on her feet.
What's so special about them?

The answer is found inside her shoes. These insoles look quite ordinary. But actually, they were customized specifically for a professional athlete.

We visit a trainer who creates these insoles by making many small adjustments while checking his clients' movements and the insoles' fit and feel.
