Recruitment of female staff fond of woodworking from all over Japan

Background of the Recruitment of Female Staff

Osaka Kirakuya Corporation (Hattori Shouten) specializes in solid wood materials.
Wood is the most superior resource, nurtured by the blessings of the sun, soil, and water, and it constitutes the finest material for human habitats.
Yet, do we Japanese truly utilize this material to its greatest potential, capitalizing on its most distinctive features?
While many proclaim the excellence of wood, I perceive that few genuinely possess a discerning commitment to it.

Revolutionizing the age-old customs of the timber industry

In such circumstances, Hattori Shouten has implemented reforms that transition from the long-standing tradition of the 'male-dominated lumber industry' to a 'lumber business where women can thrive,' and has made the 'closed industry pricing' transparent. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020, is perhaps demanding a new way of life from people around the world.

A new sensibility in woodworking is required

In the past, Osaka was home to a plethora of businesses related to woodworking. Many sectors, such as 'Rokuroya' (turnery shops), have disappeared for various reasons, an inevitability that cannot be helped. However, it is now worth considering whether a new sensibility in woodworking is necessary. Around the world, all manner of goods are facing economic inflation due to supply chain dysfunctions. The current state of affairs is such that many wooden products are reliant on imports.

Things the Japanese Have Forgotten

While it is true that globalization has led to the production of most inexpensive goods, including furniture, in developing countries, there is something many Japanese have forgotten. Could it not be considered a source of national pride? Hattori Shouten believes that pride lies not in a world prioritizing economic growth with mass production and disposal, but rather in a mature, sustainable lifestyle.

The Value of Timber and the Global Environment

The cessation of using disposable plastic straws can be seen as a missive from the future, urging us to lead an eco-friendly lifestyle. Even after the pandemic of COVID-19 subsides, combating global warming will emerge as the next challenge. It is anticipated that the strategy against global warming will involve a shift from fossil fuel resources to a circular economy. In particular, timber resources are expected to be re-evaluated.
Timber, which is to be re-evaluated, is currently the subject of global competition. The wood shock that surfaced around March 2021 poses a question to us all. In a capitalist society, it is an accepted fact that prices are determined by the balance of supply and demand.

From the perspective of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aimed at achieving a sustainable society, wood materials are being re-evaluated. However, one may question whether the woodworking products that are truly in demand are being supplied to the world. In this context, we have contemplated the endeavor to maximize the value of increasingly expensive timber. It is challenging to articulate, but Hattori Shouten has considered the following approach.

The concept is to create wooden products that seem to exist yet do not, and seem not to exist yet do.

While it may be admirable to complete all woodworking by hand, achieving a perfect balance between machine work and handcrafting could be considered the pinnacle of creation. We believe that realizing this balance will bring joy to both the future craftsmen of Japan and the purchasers of their work.
