a String, Piezoelectric Braided Cord
Piezoelectric braided cord is a thin and soft string-like sensor that generates voltage by pulling, twisting, and sliding movements. By incorporating Japanese traditional craft techniques such as "decorative knotting" and "embroidery," the piezoelectric braided cord can be used to detect a variety of motions without using a PC or complicated circuits.

Yoshirou Tajitsu PhD
Prof. Tajitsu has long been conducting research on the use of bonding effects (piezoelectricity, photoelasticity, etc.) based on the chiral structure of polymers to express functions that cannot be realized with inorganic materials. Recently, he has been working on the development of "piezoelectric braided cord," flexible sensors that can be sewn or tied, with the aim of realizing "wearable sensors" that can be implemented in society.

It Ties Our Feelings Together in All Aspects of Life
By embroidering piezoelectric braided cord on the surface of soccer shoes, kicking force and kicking style can be measured. embroidery on bed sheets and pillows can detect pulse and breathing. Embroidery on pet clothing can be used to keep an eye on pets. It is possible to improve the value of the experience and propose new values in various scenes such as sports, health care, pets, medicine, fashion, entertainment, etc.

We Create New Communications that Integrate into Our Daily Lives Using Digital Technology
Metaverse is a virtual space that is currently attracting attention. We would like to sublimate our technology to make it easy for anyone to participate in this dream space. By simply wearing clothes with piezoelectric braided cord into them, avatars can be freely manipulated without complicated training. We wish to realize a metaverse where even the elderly and people with limited access to information can participate with vigor and vitality forever.
