坐落在有着300多年历史的铁匠镇Tsubame-Sanjo，Tadafusa是一家受人尊敬的手工锻造刀具制造商。
Located in Tsubame-Sanjo, a blacksmithing town with over 300 years of history, Tadafusa is an esteemed manufacturer of hand-forged knives.
砧板店的概念也是深深交织在商店概念中的一条线。虽然Tsubame-Sanjo地区以铁匠镇而闻名，但刀具并不只由刀片组成。忠友开发的专门的抗菌碳化方法体现在设计对云杉的使用上：碳化的云杉为刀柄和砧板提供了特殊的抗菌品质。展示架和中央桌子就是用这种材料建造的，在上面可以体验到忠友的产品。
The notion of a cutting board shop is also a thread woven deeply into the store concept. While Tsubame-Sanjo area is famous for being a blacksmithing town, knives do not consist solely of blades. The specialized antibacterial carbonization method Tadafusa has developed is represented in the design’s focus on the use of spruce: carbonized spruce lends exceptional antibacterial qualities to knife handles and cutting boards. It is from this material that the displays and the central table are constructed, and upon which, Tadafusa’s products can be experienced.
乍看起来非常简单和朴素，但实际上是行为设计的一个精致的练习。标准的刀具展示柜被重新设计，改变了客户与刀具的界面。通常被认为是一个深度较浅的上锁的箱子，里面垂直陈列着大量的工具，现在被赋予了更人性化的尺度，滑动的玻璃门仍然存在，但 “箱子 “本身是用来进入的，而不仅仅是打开。稀疏的刀具种类既更有吸引力，也更容易使用，水平方向更直观。由当地工匠定制的易于调整的联锁架子，巧妙地制作了展示系统，提供了似乎是无限的可能性。最常见的由上锁的玻璃柜代表的安全区已被重新塑造为一个崇敬的区域。一个升高的门槛迫使游客在进入该区域时进入一种高度的意识状态，模仿那些在神社和寺庙中发现的。
What appears quite simple and plain at first is actually a refined exercise in behavior design. The standard knife display case was re-envisioned, transforming the customer-knife interface. Commonly seen as a locked case of shallow depth with a large number of implements displayed vertically within has been given a more human scale, the sliding glass doors remain, but the “case” itself is meant to be entered, not merely opened. The thinned-out assortment of knives is at once both more attractive and user friendly, the horizontal orientation more intuitive. The deftly crafted display system of easily adjusted interlocking shelves, custom built by local artisans, offers seemingly endless possibilities. The security zone most often represented by the locked glass case has been rebranded as a zone of reverence. A raised threshold forces visitors into a heighted state of awareness as they enter the area, mimicking those found in shrines and temples.
与工厂相邻的商店将工厂外墙的一部分作为内墙。 Tadafusa的商店将危险和精确的概念与自然元素完美地融合在一起，将日常使用的刀提升到一个优雅的行业复苏的展示台。
Adjacent the factory, the shop takes as an interior wall a portion of one from the factory’s exterior. Tadafusa’s shop seamlessly blends notions of danger and precision together with natural elements, elevating the knife of daily use into an elegant showcase for the industry’s resurgence.
