Taniguchi Matsuyodo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kyoto City, Representative Director: Kazuyoshi Taniguchi) has created the memorial gift to be presented to the winners at the award hosted by the Cabinet Office's 'Cool Japan Public-Private Partnership Platform (CJPF)'.
Our company, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025, sees this milestone as an opportunity for new challenges for the next 100 years. This time, by incorporating our proprietary technology 'NFCTS' into the structure of a goshuin-cho with a traditional textured 'urushi paper' surface, we have shaped a new memorial gift that multiplies analog and digital.

■ Background and Concept
Inspired by the goshuin-cho experience of 'touring and recording', we created a new memorial gift to record and tour Japanese projects. This product preserves the enthusiasm of the award-winning works as a digital archive, and features a mechanism that allows viewing at any time on a smartphone via a built-in NFC tag. It is an 'experiential' memorial gift that embeds an interface to recall the joy of the award within a traditional guise.
