Overview: On Design Hunting, Andy and Shaula search for designs rooted in regional history and climates. This time they visit Hyogo Prefecture, bounded to the north by the Sea of Japan, and with Awaji Island and the Pacific Ocean to the south. That diverse climate has led to a wide range of traditions. Hyogo's development has long been supported by locally-manufactured products, which are exported worldwide via the international trading port of Kobe. Since enduring the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995, many new designs have utilized limited resources and traditional technologies to preserve the prefecture's cultural heritage for a new generation. Join us on a design hunt in Hyogo!
