Nestled in the historic Higashi Chayagai district of Kanazawa, Japan, Kanazawa Bikazari Asano is a haven for traditional Japanese craftsmanship. This concept store, which underwent a significant transformation in July 2012, now stands as a beacon of Ishikawa’s rich cultural heritage. The store's exterior is adorned with traditional lattice motifs, known as "koshi," which not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also reflect the architectural beauty of the Edo period. The koshi design allows for an interplay of light and shadow, creating a serene atmosphere that draws visitors into a world of artistry and tradition.
Inside, Kanazawa Bikazari Asano showcases an extensive array of Ishikawa’s traditional crafts, including the delicate Kutaniyaki porcelain, the intricate Kaga Yuzen dye, the luxurious Kanazawa Gold Leaf, the detailed Kaganui embroidery works, and the elegant Paulownia crafts. Each piece on display is a testament to the skill and creativity of local artisans who are redefining the boundaries of traditional craft with innovative techniques and modern interpretations.
The store's interior design is a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements. The wooden beams and tiled roof, typical of historical Japanese architecture, are juxtaposed with modern displays that highlight the beauty and intricacy of each craft. The carefully curated space invites visitors to explore and appreciate the rich tapestry of Ishikawa’s artistic legacy.
One of the store’s unique attractions is the "Gold Leafing Experience" on the second floor. This hands-on workshop allows visitors to try their hand at applying gold leaf to create their own original craftwork. Reservations are preferred for this popular activity, ensuring that participants receive personalized attention and guidance.
Kanazawa Bikazari Asano is more than just a store; it is a celebration of Ishikawa’s artistic heritage and a platform for emerging artists to showcase their innovative creations. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a curious traveler, a visit to this store promises a rich and rewarding experience.

College of Engineering students recently headed to GM’s Desert Proving Grounds to test their re-engineered 2013 Chevy Malibu in the EcoCAR 2: Plugging in to the Future Year Two Competition, which is sponsored by General Motors (GM) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The students have been hybridizing the Malibu since June 2012.
The first portion of competition was in Yuma, Ariz. There, the team was the second team to complete and pass the emission and energy consumption portion of the event, which accounts for one-third of the total Year Two Competition score. WSU was the sixth team to finish all of the following rounds of competition: safety tech inspection, shake down, and on road safety evaluation, maximum lateral acceleration, acceleration and braking, and dynamics consumer acceptability.
The team traveled to San Diego, Calif., on Monday to participate in the practice presentation and education portions of the competition.
According to the EcoCAR 2 Green Garage Blog, the Year Two winner will be announced later today.
" I am extremely proud of what our EcoCar 2 team has managed to achieved through this competition. They have been unbelievably committed and dedicated, and have learned and grown so much along the way,” said College of Engineering EcoCar 2 advisor and Professor Jerry Ku, who, while at the competition’s faculty appreciation dinner, was named one of four faculty members to serve on the EcoCar 2 Faculty Advisory Board.

Does this shot make you want to buy a condo from Trump Towers?
I woke up and drove to Hollywood, FL to shoot and style along side Premier Architectural Photographer, Doug Thompson at 4AM to catch the sunrise on the East Coast.
It was my first real experience with architectural photography with someone who does it for a living and let me tell you I have a renewed respect for those photographers.
To shoot great commercial shots for an ad agency you need like perfect weather. It was windy and the sunrise wasnt exactly what we wanted. I, coming from a strictly people shooting background, always thought we could "wing it", no Doug explained the differences for me and I it was very frustrating trying to style the shot and hope the clouds dont block out the sun when we needed it.
Doug is a great guy and really knowledgeable. I had a good time. My shoes even got combed by a beach combing tractor. lol
