Rebranding a long-selling product that has been loved for over 60 years in Japan, continuing from the predecessor company, without changing the auspicious 'gourd shape' from the time of its birth. This highlights the can opener's enduring popularity and its classic design, which has remained unchanged for decades.

The "gourd shape" refers to a rounded shape reminiscent of a gourd, which is considered a symbol of good luck in Japanese culture.

This 'lever-type' can opener was the first shape adopted in the world by Z Can Opener, and is now widely used in general." This emphasizes the can opener's innovative design, which pioneered the lever-type mechanism that is now a common feature in can openers worldwide.

Won the IDS Award at the 2019 Niigata IDS Design Competition.
