I was involved in the production of the "touchable" model of Kencho-ji Temple in Kamakura City.

The "touchable" model of Kenchoji Temple was conceived by the Universal Picture Book Library UniLeaf (represented by Toshie Oshima, located in Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture) with the concept of allowing visually impaired individuals to feel historical buildings with their hands, enabling them to share the excitement of travel together. Subsequently, it received support from many donors through grants from the "Support Each Other Fund" and crowdfunding, leading to its production.
To realize the concept of feeling historical buildings by touch, a 1/50 scale miniature of the Kenchoji Temple Buddha Hall was meticulously recreated in bronze, paying close attention to detail. Our company was responsible for the production of the castings, which consist of approximately 30 parts. This in-house technology utilizes a casting method called "Digital Cast," which excels in producing unique, one-of-a-kind items without the need for mold fabrication.
The model has been permanently installed in front of the Kenchoji Temple Buddha Hall since the day after the ceremony, allowing visitors to touch it freely. If you visit Kenchoji Temple in Kamakura, please take a look.
