For answers to new developments and potentialities of fibre, three people were invited for this interview. Participants are Hara Kenya, a participant as a graphic designer in the Tokyo Fibre Exhibition held in Paris and Tokyo in 2007, lkeuchi Michiko, a member of the Trend Committee of Premiere Vision and Okawara Hideyasu from Toray to represent the technological sector of synthetic fibre producers. Hara Kenya feels that Japan's technological strength can create new innovations. Japanese car makers and electric appliance producers enjoy their well-known existence as the world's brands. Including the textile industry, manufacturing and creation within Japan will certainly lead the upcoming generation. Innovations will not come from the U.S., Europe or elsewhere. Japan is the only place for creating innovation. Okawara says that the concept of using fibre for a car body already existed 30 years ago. But, it was not designed to withstand shock. It is possible to use plastics as an auto window glass substitute. Except for technological capability and market acceptance, it is not acceptable that glass is the only material that can be used for car windows. Ikenishi feels the potentialities of fibre once again. Europe is progressing in environmental responsiveness, but Japan is overwhelmingly ahead of others in this segment. In Japan, there is a car that can run by charging on standard household outlets overnight and we can safely say that Japanese cars are in the process of moving toward the future-type. They say that cars that can run on non-fossil fuels will emerge probably around 2020. Then, personal cars for particular uses will also make appearances. It will become possible to drive personal cars from home to visit people outside and that will give an image of operating an electric-powered high-class wheel chair. Today's car demands light weight coupled with strength. It is good to have a car that can give feelings closer to human senses.
