TAIZANDO
Manufacturing method that has not changed since the company was founded
Over the course of more than a thousand years, the uses of folding screens have changed in various ways.
The production method has hardly changed since the paper hinge was completed, such as the method and materials of the underlayment.
Since our founding in the 20th year of the Meiji era, we have stubbornly maintained this good old tradition and continue to this day.
Worry for modern equipment
On the other hand, in the air-conditioned banquet halls as they are today, the wood used for the base may become thin due to drying and cause blemishes.
We have a drying room, which is the only folding screen manufacturer. This is supported by sufficiently drying in advance at the manufacturing stage.
Achievements backed by quality
Our products, which are robust and of good quality, have been recognized by many people.
Our folding screens are used in the Prime Minister's Office, consulates of each country through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and first-class hotels such as the Imperial Hotel.
As of 2021, there are about four gold folding screen manufacturers in Japan for ceremonies.
Among them, Taizando has been praised by more than 80% of customers as "very satisfying finish" and "high quality and stable".
We have a track record of delivery to the Prime Minister's Office, consulates of each country, Imperial Hotel, etc. through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Proposals tailored to hotel needs
In recent years, we have been developing from folding screens, and we have received many requests for decorative equipment used in hotel columns, guest room decoration panels, and banquet halls.
Utilizing the fields of "pasting" and "assembling" cultivated in folding screen making, we also support planning and production of decorative products according to needs.
Protection of cultural properties and replica production
From early on, we focused on the technology of "digitally preserving" cultural properties such as national treasures.
We are working on "Folding screen production utilizing the reproduction technology of cultural properties".
We have built a cooperating company for image processing and printing, and have made it possible to produce elaborate replica folding screens.
Original support not found in other companies
There are about 3 folding screen manufacturers in Japan besides our company.
Although we compete in the folding screen industry as equipment,
We are proud that we have no competitors in custom-made decorative folding screens and are different from other companies.
Reproduction based on multifaceted consideration
Taizando regards replica production as a business that passes on Japanese culture to the next generation and disseminates it to the world.
It not only reproduces the shade, gradation, brush stroke, and brush stroke of Japanese painting, but also
The material, expression method, painting history / idea of the author, painting space production, etc. are considered in various ways before production.
We believe that it is Taizando's mission to stick to strict reproducibility that can withstand research in the history of art as well as works of art for appreciation.
I want to reproduce (replica) the paintings and books of the landlord so that they can be viewed at home. Or I want to duplicate the name of a high priest and Bokuseki as they are.
Digitally reproduced images meet these demands.
Of course, as a folding screen maker, we will propose tailoring with the highest quality in Japan.
The reproduction technique of printing on gold leaf has traditionally been said to be technically difficult, but it has finally become possible after trial and error.
The technique of printing light and shade on gold leaf paper is unprecedented. (* Patent certified)
Today, it has become possible to reproduce all known Japanese painting techniques such as fusuma paintings, mural paintings, ceiling paintings, folding screens, and hanging scrolls.
The future of digital replicas
Taizando has been developing technology by incorporating the latest digital technology in addition to the image reproduction know-how cultivated with cooperating partners.
We will continue to promote this business with enthusiasm and pride "for many people" and "for descendants".
