Since appearing as the first metal-cased G-Shock in 1996, 20 years ago, MR-G has continued to evolve along with G-Shock’s history as the brand’s premier model. Now, to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary, we unveil “G-SHOCK x BONSAI”—art pieces that embody MR-G’s product concept. The Japanese traditional horticultural craft of bonsai encapsulates the beauty and harshness of nature in a small universe and is able to keep living for centuries. In the same way, with its solar battery and titanium casing, MR-G encapsulates the technologies to keep perpetual time in its small body. What ties them together is the Japanese passion for precision and craftsmanship, and both have been represented inside the watch box. The concept video shows how MR-G continues to keep accurate time within the bonsai as it grows, weathering rain and wind. Over a three-month period, we captured over 70,000 shots in time-lapse photography, which have been edited together into this video. Contained within a diameter of just 50mm is precision technology to keep time in perpetuity. The marriage of state-of-the-art technology and advanced craftsmanship has borne MR-G, the epitome of Japanese watch-making.

MTI Ltd., the company behind the a women’s health mobile service, “Luna Luna” alongside “Dotest” the ovulation test sold by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd have come together to create a support project for couples called the “Hand in Hand Project”. In order to bury the gap of traditional marriage roles during fertility treatment, an instruction manual called, “THE MOST LOVING INSTRUCTION MANUAL” has been made to give to the husband (it is a prototype). The tendency for women to get married later in life has given Japan one of the highest rates of advanced age maternities in the world. Around 470,000 women are currently involved in some kind of fertility treatment, which is called “Nin-Katsu” in Japanese. Child care journalist, and mental health counselor Mr. Toshimasa Ota supervised the creation of an instruction manual that connects the differences of the heart and body’s rhythm that occur every month in a woman. To explain the woman’s voice clearly, booklets explaining necessary knowledge of what to expect during a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle are broken into four categories: Warning, Specifications, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting, and finally a letter written by the wife to her husband. Furthermore, the hormonal changes that occur causing fluctuating changes in a woman’s physical and mental condition each month are explained in a sensible way. The wife’s body temperature and emotional changes that occur each month are explained by using the woman’s data to create a jigsaw puzzle that when arranged show the fluctuations visually with changing colors, also a CD with an original song created using the wife’s personal data is included.

The euglena company was trying to solve world's food & energy shortage problems by developing various euglena products. However, in Japan, nobody knew about the big potential of euglena and, to make things worse, many Japanese misunderstood euglena as a"worm," like this, as its Japanese name is "green worm." As a result, Euglena was considered to be a weird company that makes Food and fuels out of worms. To correct this wrong perception, we've placed a special device called "the entrance quiz", at the front desk of the company. Sound Design: Atsushi Shimomura / Sosa Co.
