OX Parts
OX Parts is a special kind of play equipment
that lets everyone easily create spatial
structures by arranging and combining a set
of 36 pieces consisting of 4 types of 8 parts.
OX Parts takes advantage of the hollow characteristic
of bamboo and its natural shapes such as
the arc and straight line.
The curve and cavity of bamboo not only give
a constructed creation a delicate and light
feeling but also promotes an expansion of
onefs imagination, which facilitates the
creation of a highly artistic space.
Moreover, OX Parts are comprised of circles,
arcs, and straight lines which contain both
the extreme elements of stability and instability.
Therefore, a sense of proportion necessary
for the accomplishment of formative art can
be nourished while making the best use of
these two elements while at play.
Shoichi Ishikawa, who is a current member
of the Yamaguchi Prefectural University Cooperative Research Center, has focused his research on the formative
expressions of infants. This play equipment
was invented by him as a result of his long-term
educational practice of utilizing bamboo,
and was manufactured in joint research development
with our company.
