One of our customers introduced a wonderful artist who creates moving corrugated art crafts.
His name is Yoshikazu Senkoji.

Two months ago, I went to his exhibition. I was really inspired by his elaborate and sophisticated workmanship.
Look at this. The gears are very artistic.
They are made of corrugated sheets and wear away even though the power transmission is small. So, Mr. Senkoji uses special reinforced sheets. I like it even more because the corrugated sheets are produced by our corrugator machine. haha
I bought the most favorite one whose title is “Magician Robot’s Magic Lab-”.
Since I fell in love with the artwork the first time I saw it, I later noticed that I didn’t ask anything about it. I contacted Mr. Senkoji and received some explanations as follows.
“When I held an exhibition in 2018, I met a professional table magician. He liked my artworks and suggested that he would perform a magic show at my next exhibition.
I was sure that children who come to the exhibition would get excited. I answered, ’Let’s organize an event! I will create a new artwork which features magic’.
I imagine that my robot characters become professional magicians. Every day, they are doing magic training at the laboratory.”
He is practicing the card magic with the ace of hearts.
“I created the corrugated art with my playful imagination in 2019. The magic event turned out to be successful.
I’m sorry that I held this kind of event only once because of the pandemic.
Like this episode shows, someone gives me a new theme and it broadens my art world. I really get motivated by the serendipity.”
Are you curious about how it works?
If so, please check the video.
I display it at the end of the west side of ISOWA Street in the office. I hope that you will visit our company and enjoy seeing it!
