“I like the way paper cords feel. They are friendly and generous. Applying this material to a walking stick could provide a nice grip so people can stand up more easily, especially when sitting low. The post gradually gets wider towards the bottom for more stability, while the tapered shape helps the hands not slide down. Then, I added a hidden weight at the bottom of the stick, hoping to give extra momentum to one’s daily stride!” – Keiji Takeuchi
