Non x TOHOKU Standard Market / Chimatima Saketen / TOWER RECORDS | New encounters with energy that I feel in Tohoku _ Sendai PARCO

Tsun, who has been engaged in various activities as an actor and artist and has a deep connection with Tohoku, visited Sendai PARCO, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. While visiting the shops that are notable now, he picked up the items that touched the koto line, and talked about the episodes that were reminiscent of it. I visited TOHOKU Standard Market, a collection of items unique to this area, Chimachima Saketen, which opened in September, and TOWER RECORDS, which is closely related to my own music activities.

Full of charm unique to Tohoku
"I want it! Select shop where you can find "

To "TOHOKU Standard Market" on the B1F of Sendai PARCO (main building) where traditional Tohoku crafts and items from Tohoku line are lined up. In addition to crafts and local toys that have been handed down for a long time in the six prefectures of Tohoku, there is a wide variety of lineups that are perfect for souvenirs, from local food items to vessels, clothes, and accessories. There are many items that incorporate traditional patterns into modern designs, and you will surely find your favorites that bring you joyful discoveries and surprises. When I stayed here for movie shootings and stage performances, Non-san said that he had visited Sendai PARCO in private time, "It's nice to have so many fashionable traditional crafts!"

Crafts that are used to
At first sight, love with modern colors and appearance

Even if you say "traditional craft", you will smile in front of an assortment full of new discoveries and discoveries that are different from the conventional image, such as snow dome shaped like a gassho clay figurine in Aomori and Kokuji ware in Iwate with beautiful modern design. The fluorescence-colored Kokeshi doll caught the eye. "I originally like traditional patterns, but since I used my favorite fluorescent colors, I'm so cute!" I was surprised." Even though it's retro, I'm fascinated by the Tenugui and fabric with its modern design.

I would like to welcome you carefully.

"I already have a writing style of Nanbu ironware, and when I make clothes, I use it as a weight of cloth and use it very much," he said. "I want to get a teapot someday. If the lid is a wooden design, it will be easy to use. If you fall on your feet, it will hurt you.” In addition, I liked the brass ring that makes use of Yamagata's metal crafts technology and bought it. "It's a little dull, matte, calm color, and I'm more familiar with my hands than shiny gold."

I want to know more and feel more
Energy of the land called Tohoku

Regarding the fun of Tohoku he thinks, "I feel calm when people come to Tohoku, so I feel relieved. But during the festival it gets hot! That gap is cool too.” What I am worried about now is a number of attractive festivals that have not yet been able to go to see. “I want to visit the Tohoku festival. I haven't been to the Nebuta Festival yet. When I looked for YouTube distribution just in the video before, it was once Hirosaki's "Neputa" festival (laughs). The "Neputa Festival" was also nice and tasted. Also, looking at the Kanto Festival in Akita in the photos, it is very beautiful and interesting! When the festival was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and started again, it seems that the three major festivals in Tohoku were jointly held. "That was great already!" The taxi driver told me to see it.”
