The 'Setouchi Blue' and 'Sakura Pink' from the 'Hiroshima Like' series, part of the kendama brand 'MUGEN MUSOU' developed by Iwata Mokko Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima; President: Tomokazu Iwata), have been selected for the 'ASUKA III meets 47 Prefectures Project' conducted on the passenger ship 'Asuka III,' operated by NYK Cruises Co., Ltd.
In this project, all 47 midship suites on 'Asuka III' are assigned to the 47 prefectures of Japan, creating a space in each guest room where one can experience the unique culture, products, and charm of the land with all five senses.
The exhibition started with the cruise departing on March 2nd and can be viewed in guest room '9057'. We would be delighted if you could feel the charm of Hiroshima when you board.
## What is MUGEN MUSOU
This kendama brand was born in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, the birthplace of kendama. Utilizing high-precision processing technology that leverages 'Hatsukaichi Rokuro' techniques and beautiful, durable painting technology, we have pursued new value beyond the framework of kendama.
Not only is it easy to use, but its beautiful design that can be enjoyed as a decoration is also a major feature. In addition, by incorporating patented technologies such as a replaceable tip, we have pursued durability and practicality, devising ways for players to enjoy their kendama for longer. In the past, we have collaborated with various genres, including popular apparel brands and luxury watchmakers.
