Process for mass production of buttons from shells

The process of making shell buttons from shells.
Shell buttons are made in the town of Nara, where there is no sea, with a lot of time and effort and under strict standards.
*Nowadays, due to the drastic decrease in the number of shells used as raw materials and the lack of successors, the number of domestic nakiya (companies that hollow out button shapes from shells) has almost disappeared, and the buttons are taken from the shape of the shells.

兵庫から大阪に伝わりそれが奈良へ、海も無いのに生産数トップのようで、安い物は２０円ぐらいから高い物だと数百円、これだけの手間暇かけて今の世の中にどれだけの需要があるのか、今後採算が取れるのか心配ですね

幼い頃から『貝ボタン』が大好きなのですが、イスラエルと違って部分部分で自動化され大量生産されているので、少しでも服のボタンを貝ボタンに付け替えて貢献したいなぁ☺️😊
