About the brand

While working directly with the bearers of traditional crafts in the Middle East and Palestine, which are in the difficult situation under military occupation, we engage in sustainable transactions that contribute to the inheritance of that culture

Conscious of the "responsibility to make", we make products using local olive pruning materials and upcycled fabrics

With the motto "Wonderful borders have no borders", we are sowing seeds with the aim of a world where all cultures and people are respected, regardless of where they were born or where they are born

Chie TAKAHASHI

Born in Kawanishi City, Hyogo Prefecture. While studying at university where I majored in international cultural studies, I experienced a one-month homestay in Palestine. Attracted by the local personality and culture, he opened "Kake Chopsticks" in February 2020. In addition to opening stores and events in the Kansai region, he also travels to places with connections in the Tokai, Kanto, Tohoku, and Chugoku regions to convey the "life" and warmth of Palestine that are not reflected in the media.

The reason for opening the business was when I experienced a homestay in Palestine when I was a student.

From the first day of my stay, my host family treated me as a matter of course, and they worried and protected me like a toddler because I couldn't speak Arabic (in fact, I got lost and broke my stomach, just like a child...).

They were ordinary people, not very rich or in trouble with food for the day, but went to school, gathered with relatives, and went on picnics.

However, as "Palestinians", they are not guaranteed the right to live their lives freely under occupation. As an outsider, I can go anywhere and there is no danger, but they have to get permission to do anything, and they are watched by soldiers with guns. Even though he has done nothing wrong, he looks like a criminal. Being under occupation is special and difficult to understand correctly from the outside, but I thought it was strange. "Is it really the 21st century that treatment changes based on race?"

Until about 100 years ago, Palestine was a region where pagans coexisted.

Although they had different religions, Jews, Christians, and Muslims all spoke Arabic, and food culture and music were mixed.

Under the will of the great powers at the time, when Israel, a country of Jewish immigrants, was established in Palestine in 1948,

People who were originally there fled to the surrounding area and became refugees, or remained in their hometowns and were placed under occupation.

It does not have a country at present.

Palestinians still have a bitter history, but they are kind to others and live strongly.

In order to convey what I saw and heard, I started a store for "sheken chopsticks".

What are we doing?

Chopsticks

(1) Direct transactions on a small scale, not on mass production and disposal

(2) The Role of Fair Trade in Cultural Dissemination and Peacebuilding

I cherish it.

①

The world is already overflowing with things, and simply making a lot of products will lead to environmental destruction and garbage problems.

In the chopsticks, from a natural material called olive, pruned material and leftover cloth,Something that you can attach to and use for a long time, regardless of gender or generationcarefully selected. At the same time, we share with our customers the joy of caring for wooden products and the attitude of loving their individuality.

AlsoWhere and how is it made and where is it here?As the number of industrial products whose processes are not visible increases,

In order to bring the distance between consumption and production, which have been separated, closer, I am collaborating with organizations and individuals whose faces I know and conduct direct transactions.

Customers who visit your store may want to take the same time to shop with the background.

In fact, our customers have been practicing it longer than I have, and we often have long conversations at the market, and I think that is the connection to buying and selling things.

②

Fair trade has an environmental impact in terms of transporting goods from overseas.

However, with chopsticks,A sense of scale rather than distanceWe place great importance on the following: Not mass-produced,Small economic zone.

We want to create a lifestyle centered on face-to-face buying and selling and circulation. In this context, I think it is very important to have connections with people from overseas. Japan is not made up of Japan alone, and in the event of war, ordinary people will be the first to be sacrificed. In order not to fight, it is essential to have a channel to get to know each other. That's why in a small economic zone, we need to have a proper connection with the rest of the world.Grassroots PeaceI want to cultivate. I wrote this here as my original intention, but now I realize that it is more and more necessary.

Commitment to the product

(1) "Fruit Plate"

A plate carved from pruned wood (olive) that can be used as both interior decoration and tableware.

This is in the shape of a pear that is often eaten in the production area.

There are various ways to use it, such as placing a seal and key at the entrance and accessories in the room next to desk work.

It is a product that is appreciated by both genders and generations, so it is often sought after as a gift.

(Testimonials)

"It's fun to choose the grain of the wood, and I want to use it as a place of sweets and accessories."

➁ "Palestinian Embroidery Pouch"

It is a total hand-embroidered makeup pouch that reincarnates the old pattern on traditional Palestinian costumes with colors that are familiar to Japan.

It is durable, and the more you use it, the softer the cotton yarn will fit in your hand.

It can also be used as a tool for fixing makeup on the go, a medicine bag, or a coin purse.

It is based on glittery white and is recommended for Halle occasions and gifts.

Most of them are purchased after love at first sight for customers who like embroidery, or after considering it several times.

(Testimonials)

"It's a delicate handiwork, and I think it's worth it."

"I feel the romance of traditional crafts and handiwork, and the embroidery is really wonderful."

≪ customer segment≫

The main source of followers on Instagram is 7:3 for women: men, and there is a high level of engagement among people in their 30s ~ 50s.

The number of customers in face-to-face sales is about 7:3 or 6:4 for women, and the generation is mainly in their 30s ~ 50s, but since it is run by a representative born in 96, the number of customers in their 20s is increasing year by year.

In addition, there are sometimes cases where the child stops and chooses what he likes, not the adult.

We have received a certain amount of demand from overseas tourists, temporary residents, and people living in Japan (past results: China, Hong Kong, South Korea, the United States, France, several countries in the Middle East, etc.).

* Due to the influence of education and information on social media, there are rare cases where some people from overseas deny the history of the Palestinian people and do not want to recognize their culture. If you are an inbound customer-centric store, please contact us. (We have never had any trouble, but there have been people in the past who expressed their opinions to passers-by and left.)

≪ point of view≫

From the perspective of "ethical" and "plastic-free", interest in unpainted wood products tends to be high.

There are many people who stop because "the wood grain is cute", "I am attracted to the wood grain", and "I like wooden products and I don't have eyes".

Olives have a strong grain claim, so I think it is easy for people to notice it even if they are passing by.

If you like traditional crafts or kimonos, you will first be interested in weaving and embroidery.

定番人気のブローチをはじめ、これまで何度も購入させていただいています。フェアトレードの商品ということもあり、木製食器などはやや高価ではありますが、大切な資材から丁寧に作られた商品からはとてもあたたかみを感じられ、満足度が高いです。ギフトにと購入される方も多くいらっしゃいます。「寄付」という形ではなく、「かわいいもの・素敵なものを手に取る」という自然なかたちでパレスチナと関わるきっかけをいただける点も、とても魅力的だと感じています。パレスチナに元々関心をお持ちの方はもちろん、そうでない方々にも、ふと目を止めていただける商品たちだと思います。定番品として、お箸が復活すると嬉しいです。今後も定番品・新作ともに楽しみにしています。

レビューいただき誠にありがとうございます。いつもご注文くださり沢山のお客様へと商品を届けてくださること、とても嬉しく思っています。価格については、中東地域の生活水準や物価に見合う形にすること、そして為替の影響がありますが、出来る限り適正な価格でお届けするとともに、横で比較されるのではなく、そのものの価値として選んでいただけるようにありたいと思います。パレスチナに興味を持っていなかったお客様が、偶然ブローチを見とめて購入され、そこから関連する本を読むようになった、ということもあったり、実は気になっていた、と心情を共有してくださったり、手仕事を通してのコミュニケーションが生まれることは当方でもとても実感するところです。お箸に関しても有難うございます。嬉しいです。こちらも原価の関係で今はお出しすることが難しいのですが、折を見て再発注できればと思っております。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

木の温もりのあるテーブルが特徴の聖書的な赤羽クロスカフェです。　　オリーブの木はそれに添うように一段と温かみをましてくれます。ハンドメイドで聖書的なオリーブの木の作品を販売させていただき光栄です。何より1点1点個性的でなにひとつ同じものはないです。お気に入りの品はひとそれぞれです。鳩がオリーブをくわえているブローチはノアの洪水で有名で作りもしっかりしています。場所をとらず装飾品にも実用的でよいと思います。いつも誠実な対応をありがとうございます。

有難うございます。作り手もキリスト教を信仰している家が多いので、そうした場での販売に喜んでいると思います。仰るようにお気に入りは人それぞれ、木目が複雑なものが好きな方もいれば、さっぱりした木目を好む方もいます。ブローチに目が無い方も、コースター愛が強い方もおられます。貴店でお気に入りとの出会いがあれば嬉しいです。ノアの洪水、そうなんです。平和を象徴するモチーフとなっています。今後ともご愛顧のほどよろしくお願いいたします。

オリーブの木を使ったレターオープナー、ブローチ、クリスマスオーナメントなど、現地の職人さんと開発されたオリジナルな商品をお客様に手渡せることをうれしく感じています。刺繍キーホルダーやマグネットは、それぞれ素敵なのですが、日常品の枠で見ると高いと感じられるのか売れ行きが今ひとつでした。逆にブローチはもう少し価格が高くても買い求められるのではと思いました。

レビュー頂きありがとうございます。値が張ると受け取られてしまうものに関しては、ご自身用だけではなくギフトとしても訴求できるよう当店でも工夫やご案内が出来たらと思います。現地の原価に合わせて値付けしているのですが、もう少し高くてもいいのでは、というものに関しては、今後情勢次第で原価自体が変わり得るので、状況に応じて、そういったときのバッファーとして対応していければと思います。 ※商品は0から開発しているものと、日本向けに手を加えているもの、セレクトしているものとがございます。説明文に分かりにくい点がありましたら申し訳ありません。ただセレクトに関しても、現地に行った際に選んだものや、これなら日本でも生活に馴染みそうだと思ったものを当店の視点で発注しておりますので、他と被らないお品という自負を持っております。お取引いただき誠にありがとうございます！
