Applying Shipbuilding Techniques Cultivated in the Field! The Campfire Gear Brand from Kagawa: "THE IRON FIELD GEAR"

The keyword "outdoor' continues to attract attention in activities, fashion, and even in the business scene. Outdoor wear, which incorporates functions cultivated in the field of sports, has gained popularity, along with collaboration projects with high-end brands, influencing our wardrobes for many years.
 
And its popularity knows no bounds even now. Campgrounds are bustling with people, and new products continuously appear to decorate camping sites. Among the new and popular garage brands fiercely competing with major manufacturers, the brand making waves among camping enthusiasts is the Setouchi-born brand "THE IRON FIELD GEAR."

While there is no shortage of outdoor brands and campfire gear that incorporate traditional crafts and Japan's unique metal processing technology, such as Niigata's Tsubame Sanjo and Iwate's Nambu Ironware, "THE IRON FIELD GEAR" from Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture, also has its distinct identity. It is "born in a shipbuilding town, created with shipbuilding technology." We spoke with Tatsushi Moriyama of Koei Kikaku Co., Ltd. the initiator of the brand, about its background and beginnings.
