CUBIC GLOVE series Vers. YUKINORI DEHARA "Mentakun"
The third product of "CUBIC GLOVE series" is a collaboration with "Mentakun" which is created by Yukinori Dehara (popular figureillustrator).
It answers to many customer's voice of "want size for adult !".
We started 3 size deployment of "toddler 2+", "kids 6+", and "adult 14+" from the third product.
How Cubic Glove series "Mentakun" was born.
NN buyer Takayanagi helped Dehara's exhibition from ten and more years before, and was drinking beer together till the morning.
Although Takayanagi wished to make goods together some day, it realized one day.
He got to know that a child was born to Dehara who met after a long time.
He sent CUBIC GLOVE series "HINOMARU-FUJISAN" and "REDOGRE-BLUEOGRE" to Dehara.
The gloves were very pleasing to 1-year-old son.
When Takayanagi knew it, he thought " if there is a glove of Dehara's character, he would be more pleased".
"CUBIC GLOVE Mentakun " project was started.
The glove maker Fukushin Co., Ltd. made many samples, and deployment size and the design were decided.
Dehara painted an original illustration to the package.
Also there is an original comic at the bottom of package!
Mentakun profile card is attached as a privilege of quantity limitation.
October 24, 2013 Rollout is carried out by DEHRA x UAMOU "DEHAMOU exhibition", and sale by subscription is started.

He has the face as the Shibuya-style hot rapper, but he knows only the word 'Me-n'.

About CUBIC GLOVE series
" What can an artist do at the factory on the basis of industry ? "
Cubic glove was born by an artist Nobumasa Takahashi and a glove maker FUKUSHIN Co., Ltd. during the regional vitalization project " artist in factory ".
Why the inside of the glove is so cozy ?
URAKIMOU(Raise back) is one of the methods to make the surface of inside hairy.
At Fukushin, the engineers use teasel (kind of pine) to raise back which is an old way to do it.
They make one by one with a lot of love.
In winter, the gloves are very warm and so soft.
Once you experience the touch, you can not forget it.
It is so nice!
