Japan these days is associated with something super-modern, with the flattest screens, the most environmentally friendly cars and the smartest robots. But it turns out that in Japan, they are not only able to solder microcircuits. Art is not alien to them either. Moreover, not just art, but a symbiosis of the past and the future. For example, wooden robots.
The tradition of creating small wooden figurines came to modern Japan from the deep past, but, nevertheless, it is in demand in today's super-technological times. True, this tradition has changed a little. If earlier wooden figurines of different people and gods were made, now - robots.
The take-G toys company is known for producing wooden toys using technologies of the distant past - by hand. But the company's most popular product is not figurines of people, animals or deities, which were customary to make in Japan in the past, but figurines of robots. After all, robots are the deities of our days.
Take-G's robots are funny, cute and funny. They are perfect for both children and adults. A couple of such wooden robots and their wooden spaceship will perfectly fit into the interior of the office of even the highest chief. Moreover, in Japan it is not customary to hide their infantilism and love for toys, even at a fairly old age.
These wooden robots are much cheaper than electronic robots - from 50 to 800 US dollars, depending on the size and the efforts made to produce them.
