Nobuaki Date
Nobuaki Date made a Ukulele with parts of a torn-down building.
Usually, people hope to keep a small bit of the building for their memory, but why did Date think of making an instrument?
A Ukulele is very compact and only has about 5 notes, which once you memorize, allow you to easily play any songs. It is just a cute lovable instrument which allows you to remember a lot. When his grand-father's 100-year-old house was torn down, he took about 500 pictures of textures throughout the house, as a souvenir. At that time, Date was also making musical products, that's how he came up with the concept. A musical instrument is as much a container of memories as a house, and ukuleles made out of house bits make the best sounds.
