The exhibition of Taiji Yamabe at the Kairaku Otsuka Museum focuses on the captivating motifs and materials of "nature" and "shine" in art. It will showcase the "Flower" series from the late 1980s, which served as the starting point for Yamabe's work, as well as the "GOLD PAINTING" series from the early 2000s. Both series garnered significant attention in the art scene at the time and continue to exude fresh energy. The "flower," as a symbol of the moment, intersects with "GOLD," a symbol of eternity, creating a blend of the ordinary and the extraordinary. The visual and sensory experiences that intersect in these two different times quietly present the imagery of the works and deepen our understanding of the existence and perception of objects. This summer, I hope to share a rich time of appreciation of Yamabe's works with many people. Exhibition Period: July 15, 2023 (Saturday) – September 10, 2023 (Sunday) Opening Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Admission until 4:30 PM) Closed: Mondays (the following day if a holiday) Admission Fee: General 800 (700) yen, High School Students 500 (400) yen, Elementary and Junior High School Students 300 (250) yen *The prices in parentheses are group discount rates for 20 or more people.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth at the "37th Internepcon Japan" held at Tokyo Big Sight from January 25 (Wednesday) to 27 (Friday), 2023. We have made the materials and display panels of our exhibited products available. Even those who could not come to the venue during the event can register on this page to view the materials, so please take advantage of it. https://www.ipros.jp/company/detail/75128/catalog/?hub=60+225384 This time, in collaboration with Andor System Support Co., Ltd., our Industrial Equipment Division conducted a demonstration of boundary scan testing using a flying probe tester, and we are pleased that many customers showed great interest. Additionally, this was the first collaborative exhibition between the Industrial Equipment Division and the RF Division, and we believe many people were able to learn about our products. Moving forward, Takaya Corporation will continue to strive to meet our customers' expectations. We sincerely appreciate your continued support.

We have released a demo video showcasing bulk reading of containers, using the UHF band RFID "Inventory Management Plugin Package," which is designed for inventory management in logistics sites. Please watch it through the related links below. This package absorbs the "control of RFID reading and writing," which tends to be a barrier to RFID implementation, thereby reducing development effort and enabling smooth integration with core systems. Additionally, the aluminum frame of the radio wave shielding gate uses commercially available materials, achieving a cost that is approximately one-tenth that of typical RFID gates. Its easy installation and mobility make it applicable in various fields such as logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and apparel. We will be demonstrating this system at 'Internepcon 2023,' held at Tokyo Big Sight from January 25 to 27, 2023. We invite you to visit our booth and see the actual product. We look forward to seeing you at Hall 2, Booth 11-40.

We have renewed the official website of the Industrial Equipment Division (FA-related devices).

We have renewed the homepage introducing our store security products. Takaya Corporation develops, manufactures, and sells store security products in-house. Since there are few domestic manufacturers of store security products, many customers often choose products from overseas manufacturers. However, products from overseas manufacturers generally have disadvantages such as "limited Japanese documentation" and "slow support." Takaya Corporation is a long-established manufacturer of store security products with over 25 years of experience. In addition to providing highly reliable products, we have established a support system that can respond quickly in Japanese. As a domestic manufacturer, we offer comprehensive product documentation and demo equipment for loan, which has been well received by many customers. We invite you all to take a look.
