Why did I start making something like this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impetus was the Great East Japan Earthquake, the subsequent nuclear power plant accident, and calls for power conservation. Since the only thing I could do was woodworking, I thought there was no way to create a sense of coolness with wood, so I started making wooden windmills with the image of a wind chime that I could see with my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 10 years of making it, the level of perfection had improved to a certain extent, so I decided to take on the challenge of holding a public exhibition, so I put a little more energy into making it and created ``Kazeshirasu.'' . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The origin of the name is ``Kazeshirasu'', which means ``notifying the presence of wind''. As for the source, I thought the name ``wooden windmill'' was boring, so I thought about a lot and decided on this name. Well, I just think it's good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes so far as to say that it \"alerts you to the presence of the wind,\" so we've devised various techniques to make sure that it actually spins with a breeze. Since it is intended to be placed indoors, you cannot expect high airflow. We aimed to spin with a breeze that is so light that you won't be able to physically feel, \"Is the wind blowing right now?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MVI_5226.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rotate1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be difficult to understand. For windmills with weathervanes, you can probably guess the approximate wind speed from the smoke from the mosquito coils, but I think the \"Kazeshirasu\" can spin even with winds at half this speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">I applied to a craft competition held in Takaoka City last year. I have been interested in this competition for some time, and would like to apply if the opportunity arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, I was very happy to be selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1008\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2021\u5e74-\u5bb6\u5177-\u5de5\u82b8\u90fd\u5e02\u9ad8\u5ca1\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30b3\u30f3\u30da\u30c6\u30a3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f32-1024x1008.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\" style=\"width:780px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2021\u5e74-\u5bb6\u5177-\u5de5\u82b8\u90fd\u5e02\u9ad8\u5ca1\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30b3\u30f3\u30da\u30c6\u30a3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f32-1024x1008.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2021\u5e74-\u5bb6\u5177-\u5de5\u82b8\u90fd\u5e02\u9ad8\u5ca1\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30b3\u30f3\u30da\u30c6\u30a3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f32-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2021\u5e74-\u5bb6\u5177-\u5de5\u82b8\u90fd\u5e02\u9ad8\u5ca1\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30b3\u30f3\u30da\u30c6\u30a3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f32-768x756.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2021\u5e74-\u5bb6\u5177-\u5de5\u82b8\u90fd\u5e02\u9ad8\u5ca1\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30b3\u30f3\u30da\u30c6\u30a3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f32-1240x1221.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2021\u5e74-\u5bb6\u5177-\u5de5\u82b8\u90fd\u5e02\u9ad8\u5ca1\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30b3\u30f3\u30da\u30c6\u30a3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f32-508x500.jpg 508w, https:\/\/www.aozoraworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2021\u5e74-\u5bb6\u5177-\u5de5\u82b8\u90fd\u5e02\u9ad8\u5ca1\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30b3\u30f3\u30da\u30c6\u30a3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f32.jpg 1496w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">We use brightly colored cypress wood to give you a cool feeling.
