TANAZAWA recognized around the world<\/h3>\r\n\t

In the 1960s, when etching grains were monotonous and flat, we developed 3D-etching, which was revolutionary at the time. With this, we were able to create a natural grain that reproduces the delicate characteristics of genuine leather. Since then, we keep brushing up our technical skills searching for even better texture.
\r\nWe keep trying to perform specific textures such as; adding functions to molds, or; texturing molds for vacuum\/foaming that replaces electroforming with high design quality and lightweight as well.
\r\nWe, growing together with Japan\u2019s mold industry, in today\u2019s increasingly globalized world, continue to support customer\u2019s needs with our technological capabilities and deliver safe and stable Japan Quality to the world.<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t

What is SHIBO process?<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t

The wrinkles seen on the leather surface are called “shibo\uff08\u30b7\u30dc\uff09”
\r\nBefore the Kamakura period, the unevenness of Eboshi (hat) was called “shibo\uff08\u3057\u307c\uff09.”
\r\nIn the leather processing and textile industries, wrinkles were also called shibo\uff08\u76ba\uff09. Our founder took a hint from this and named the process of adding patterns to the surface of the mold “shibo-tsuke\uff08\u3057\u307c\u4ed8\u3051\uff09 (applying texture\/grain).”
\r\nAfter 1945, Japan’s plastics industry developed rapidly. We were the first to pay attention to that. Texturing, which increases product value through decorative effects, has become essential in plastic molding.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
