I've been working with molds for more than 20 years in the art toy field, so I knew it would be very expensive, and honestly speaking, was a bit worried, but at the same time I was confident in our ability to make high quality molds and wanted to take the challenge.
Thus, our undertaking had begun of making our own unique puzzle pieces from original molds. We immediately replied “Yes!” without even thinking about the cost. When Chris asked, in his usual modest, polite, and uniquely apologetic way, if it would be possible to produce original shaped puzzle pieces for the project, we were not surprised as we had the same idea in mind. Technology advancement is great and exciting, but on the other hand, the experience of making Chris Ware’s “Building Stories” puzzle and working with original molds created from scratch, I was able to reconfirm that analog technology and craftsmanship is something also very valuable that cannot be quantified.Īround Spring of 2020, we contacted Chris and asked him if he wanted to make a puzzle with us, and fortunately, he liked the idea. A couple of years ago, when I was in San Francisco, I saw a lot of cars with big machines on top of them on the streets of downtown late at night, and I asked my friend, "What are those ?” He told me that they were training cars for autonomous driving. The other day, I had a chance to get a ride in an autonomous car for the first time.
