HANDS GRAND PRIX

"TOKYU HANDS", which I mentioned in previous article, hold a competition of the handcraft every year as well, namely HANDS GRAND PRIX (Hands Taisho in Japanese.)



The concept is "Think by hands, find by hands, create by hands",
and awarded works there is just amazing!

Some are really detailed art and some others are very impressive by its idea. Sometimes they are nice by its sence of humor!

Be creative and realize it by our trained "hands",
Actually exactly the same thing is important to discover and apply new knowledge into practice in Science and Engineering! Isn't it?

Be creative! express yourself in your own way!

---------
Translation from HANS GRAND PRIX website,
Since human being started to stand up by two legs, hands are independent from legs and gained a freedom. First they met with tools, learned how to handle a fire, made a thing, and society. In our present-day, we have a full of usefulnesses.
However, instead of that there's somthings we forget.
It is the way you express your things in your own way
To put in one word, it's your "hands"

HANDS GRAND PRIX started in 1983 (just one year younger than I!) under the slogan of "Think by hands, find by hands, create by hands",
and we are seeking and discovering unlimited possibilities of human "hands" once again by each of us.
