The Japan Hobby Show

We just returned from the Japan Hobby Show so I thought you might like to see some photos and hear a little about the show.  This year our company had two booths,  HM Ben Franklin Crafts and  HM Ace Hardware Science.  The booths were managed by some of our Hawaii staff, who were happy to have a work related trip to Japan.  In the Ben Franklin Crafts booth lei making was taught to eager Japanese crafters.  Hawaiian crafts are a big hit in Japan mostly because of the Japanese interest in hula. 

The HM Ace Hardware Science booth was very active with young and old playing with the kit built science toys.  The idea of learning while playing is very enticing and crosses the international border of education.  From the excitement shown at these House Mart booths it is evident that crafts and hardware science need no translation when it comes to fun. Check out our stores and see for yourself!
